He really acted like a jerk compared to the others during the outtakes. They were having a good time and he seemed annoyed by it all.


You could really tell he had some psycho in him. There's a blooper with him and Julia when he's trying to knock the power out of the apartment by sticking a paper clip in the outlet. She kept breaking and one time he looked like he wanted to legit choke her out but sort of uncomfortably laughed it away like "oh that's the girl I can't go off on her"

The cast has said that they'd be hanging out between takes and they'd hear Richards back behind the set yelping and bumping into things, trying to get his next scene exactly right. He didn't just bumble into scenes naturally.

By the way, they lost the rights to the Entertainment Tonight theme, so when Kramer freaks out to Mary Hart's voice, it's following a version of the Seinfeld bass riff, not the ET music.

Writers have said he is Buster Keaton reincarnated.
Everyone should watch The Great Buster documentary directed by Peter Bogdanovich. The guy was a comedy genius and a pro till the end.

Totally thought this was a UHF thread



I was coming to suggest people watch UHF. He's amazing in that movie.

last night I watched the episode where Kramer wrestled with a bag of cement he wanted to put in a laundromat washing machine as revenge for Jerry thinking the owner stole money he had left in his laundry bag. The physical comedy from Kramer, as always, was brilliant.

I remember him on ABC's answer to SNL, "Fridays".
