Jason Alexander Stars in New Nickelback Video

Nickelback managed to enlist two television veterans for this surreal and disarming video for the song “Trying Not to Love You,” off their 2011 album Here and Now. Seinfeld star Jason Alexander plays an ace barista who apparently loses all fine motor skills after becoming besotted with a coffee house customer, played by Baywatch’s Brooke Burns. Cups and saucers whirl in space and Burns writhes around in coffee beans until a goateed rival (also played by Alexander) enters the scene on a motorbike, setting off a high-stakes latte competition. Is the story a nod to bassist Mike Kroeger’s past employment behind a Starbucks counter?
