NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - Michael Richards, the Emmy-winning actor who played Kramer on “Seinfeld” but saw his fortunes dwindle in recent years, is “a new man,” according to Larry David, the co-creator of the legendary sitcom.
Richards’ flagging career ground to a halt in 2006 after he was captured on a cell phone camera delivering an alcohol-fueled racist tirade at some hecklers watching his routine at a Los Angeles comedy clubs. The master of physical comedy apologized profusely, and inadvertently drew studio-audience laughter while making a mea culpa on “Late Show with David Letterman.”
But now Richards, and Kramer, are back. In fact all of the “Seinfeld” stars — Richards, Julia Louis Dreyfus, Jason Alexander and Jerry Seinfeld — appear later this summer in about half the episodes of the new season of David’s “Curb Your Enthusiasm” on HBO.
