Michael Richards, born on July 24, 1949, is an American actor and comedian, best known for his iconic portrayal of Cosmo Kramer on the hit television sitcom “Seinfeld.” He was born in Culver City, California, and began his career as a stand-up comedian in Los Angeles during the 1970s.
Richards’ breakthrough came in 1989 when he was cast as Kramer in “Seinfeld,” a quirky, eccentric, and often clueless neighbor, which earned him three Primetime Emmy Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. His physical comedy and memorable catchphrases made Kramer one of the most beloved characters in television history.
