George's professional life is unstable. He is unable to remain in any job for any great length of time before making an embarrassing blunder and getting fired, and he is unemployed for a large amount of time throughout the series. Very often, the blunder is lying and trying to cover it up, only to have it all fall apart. Most of the many short-lived jobs George holds throughout the series are in sales. Seinfeld - NOW PLAYING".

His original job when the series starts is as a real estate agent; he ends up quitting and getting re-hired, but fired immediately afterward for drugging his boss.

On April 3, 1989, Herschfield sent a partial script to Jason Alexander, who was in New York City at the time. [24] Herschfield had met Alexander when he was working on the CBS sitcom E/R. [24] Alexander enjoyed the script and felt it read like a Woody Allen film; therefore, he did a Woody Allen impression on his audition tape and bought a pair of glasses to better resemble the actor. [24] [32] Though Alexander thought his audition was "a complete waste of time", both David and Seinfeld were impressed; Seinfeld stated "the second we saw him, like two lines out of his mouth, we went 'That's the guy. '" [24] On April 10, 1989, at 9:00a.m. Alexander did his first official audition and met David and Seinfeld. [22] While in the waiting room for his final audition, Alexander saw that Larry Miller was also auditioning. [24] Alexander was aware that Miller and Seinfeld were very good friends, and so figured that he would not get the part. After his final audition, he returned to New York City, and when he landed he received a phone call informing him that he was hired. [24] Seinfeld co-creator Larry David based George largely on himself. [22] [23] Seinfeld and David created the character as a foil to Seinfeld's character. [24] In the first draft of the show's pilot script, called Stand-Up at the time, George's name was "Bennett" and he, like Jerry, was a comedian. [22] In that same draft, the scene in the pilot in which George and Jerry discuss a woman Jerry met earlier, instead saw George and Jerry discussing their stand-up act. [22] His name was changed to George, and he became a real estate broker instead. [22] George's last name comes from Michael Costanza, a college classmate of Seinfeld. [25] "Louis", George's middle name is a homage to Lou Costello, whose 1950s television series The Abbott and Costello Show inspired Seinfeld. [26] Although he is often asked whether he wanted to play the character, Larry David has said that he was only interested in writing the show, and doubted that NBC would have approved of his being cast.

George often takes impressive measures to build and maintain relationships with women. In " The Conversion," he goes through the process of converting to the Latvian Orthodox Church as his girlfriend's parents would not let her date somebody outside their religion. The one relationship he holds long-term, with his fiancée Susan, is the one about which he is seemingly least enthusiastic, as shown by his ongoing attempts to postpone, and later cancel, their wedding, and his rather nonchalant reaction when she dies.
