Michael Anthony Richards (born July 24, 1949) is an American actor, comedian, writer and television producer, best known for his portrayal of the eccentric Cosmo Kramer on the television sitcom Seinfeld. Richards began his career as a stand up comedian, first stepping into a national spotlight when he was featured on Billy Crystal's first cable TV special. He went on to become a series regular on ABC's Fridays. Prior to Seinfeld, he made numerous guest appearances on a variety of television shows including Cheers, Night Court, Miami Vice and St. Elsewhere. His film credits include So I Married an Axe Murderer, Airheads, Young Doctors in Love, Problem Child, Coneheads and UHF. During the run of Seinfeld, he made a guest appearance in Mad About You. After Seinfeld, Richards starred in his own sitcom, The Michael Richards Show, which lasted less than one season. After his series was cancelled, Richards returned to his roots performing stand up comedy. After inciting some media furor in late 2006 over explosively addressing audience members at a comedy show with repeated racial epithets, Richards announced his retirement from stand-up in 2007. Most recently, Richards appeared as himself in the seventh season of Curb Your Enthusiasm in 2009, acting alongside his fellow Seinfeld cast members for the first time since Seinfeld's finale.
OVER MY DEAD BODY! Did you ever notice that Marzipan sometimes looks so "seedy"? Did you know that Endive stole thousands of candy from children, it's true. And this is where I'd put my big mixer... IF I HAD ONE! Is the vacuum on your back as big as the one on your head? I don't wanna play cowboy. Well on the bright side, at least I won't wind up in the mud again and have to get another bath. That thing melted faster than a slipper slab of butter on a hot sweet cob of corn on a 4th of July picnic. [ roaring ] I'm the Smash-Man! love to smash everything in sight! I'm part Orangutan and part Yeti! I clobbered both Godzilla AND King-Kong! I'm unstoppable! I'm-- Chowder! Have you been playing the Smash-Man again?! Um--Uh--No Mung! Are you lying to me? MIND YOUR OWN BUSINESS! Jeez. Mung, How come you live in this restaurant with Truffles.. instead of an apartment with several scantily clad female roommates? Boy, ask a simple question, and get all your television privileges revoked. No, I'm not. I'm tolerant of everyone, whether they lack toes or not. Didn't you used to be in Sesame Street? And which one are you, Rob or Ed? WHADDYA MEAN I'VE GOT --UUUUURP! ANGER ISSUES?! AM I CRAZY?! UUUUURP! [ to the audience ] Help me. Look, you ordered da Grabble Pie, SO-- UURP! HAND OVA DA MOOLAH! Truffles, Do you not realize that you're short temper and lack of manners are what is driving away our customers? You remind me of a very young Colonel Sanders.
