Alexander, who was last seen in a couple of episodes of CBS’ Young Sheldon and Fox’s The Orville, has signed on to voice Mr. Mouse, the animated representation of the titular author’s book series.
Variety has brought word that Jason Alexander, the 59-year-old comedic actor who rose to fame thanks to the ’90s sitcom Seinfeld, is returning to the small screen for a staring role in the Fox comedy pilot Richard Lovely.
The only problem is, Lovely is not very fond of children, an aspect of his personality he is forced to confront when Mr. Mouse actually appears in his life.
The series, from Grace and Frankie executive producer Billy Finnegan, has been likened to About a Boy in tone as it follows the life of the titular Richard, a famous author living off the success of his children’s book series, “Mr. Mouse.”
