Seinfeld "Kramer"

Is your name Leon

He could have saved the ghost busters for sure.

Say what you want the man is funny

Thanks for the kind words, buddy.

Giddy up.

He played a gimmick character on a great show and was very good at it.

There's no "crying shame" that his career was ruined too early. He was 40 years old when he was cast on Seinfeld. It was 7 years later for the "incident".

Go to Poli board, they will eat up "crying shame this amazing comedians career was ruined way to early."

Dude was lucky enough to work with Larry David prior to Seinfeld and get the Kramer gig.

At best his post Seinfeld career would be like Jason Alexander's..

First off frick ABC Bob Patterson was good. Second, Netflix needs to bring back Duckman

Why does Radio Shack ask for your phone number when you buy batteries?

As I sit here watch this awesome show and laughing my a$$ off at Kramer, I can't help but think that it's a crying shame this amazing comedians career was ruined way to early.

He can take solace in the royalty checks that never stop rolling in.

ETA: Keith Hernandez says he still gets about $3000 a year for the two episodes he was in.

There is a semi new book out about the show & the cast. No earth breaking new stuff but there is a part in one chapter that describes Richards as "very standoffish" off the set. So what was seen on screen was great acting, apparently. Re George post show, he was widely mocked at poker tournaments by many for his pickup line "hey ! I'm George & I am very rich". There are a few YouTube shots of him in tourneys and he does look like a real a-hole.
