Jason Alexander has spoken out about his role in a bonkers new video for Canadian rockers Nickelback, saying he did it so he could hang out with a near-naked woman.
The actor, best known for his portrayal of lovable goof George Costanza in hit sitcom Seinfeld, stars as a barista who tries to win the affections of former Baywatch star Brooke Burns in the video for Nickelback's new song Trying Not To Love You.
He also plays a flamboyant rival barista with a moustache in the clip.
Fans took to Twitter to discuss the controversial video, with some expressing dismay that the cult star would associate himself with the reviled rockers, who are performing in Auckland in November.
"This officially replaces Michael Richards' anti-Semitic rant as the worst thing any cast member has done post-Seinfeld," said one commentator quoted by NME.com.
