Michael Richards

Michael Richards is an American actor, writer, TV producer and comedian. He started his career as a stand-up comedian, and when he appeared on Billy Crystal’s first cable TV special, he became the focus of world attention for the first time. Michael Richards wanted to make people laugh and he was able to accomplish that as a stand-up comedian. He had also been given the opportunity to appear in various films and received credit for Coneheads, Trial and Error, and UHF.

What Michael is best remembered for, however, is his portrayal of Cosmo Kramer in the sitcom Seinfeld, for which he got a Primetime Emmy Award. He experienced a brush with controversy after he was heckled during a performance. Michael has since apologized for the comments he made that day. After Seinfeld ended, he went back to his first love, stand-up comedy. He also continued to make cameo and guest appearances from time to time, including in the film So I Married an Axe Murderer.
