The man who played a unique supporting roles in all of television history is Michael Richards, who was Cosmo Kramer on the acclaimed sitcom "Seinfeld"(1989-1998).
The character Kramer was crazy as a bedbug, loose-limbed and spastic, badly dressed, and given to making spectacular entrances at his neighbor Jerry's apartment. Kramer was forever coming up with unworkable ways to get rich quick, such as his invention of a bra for men: "The Bro."
Beloved as he was for his portrayal of Kramer, Richards badly tarnished his reputation in 2006 while doing standup at Hollywood's Laugh Factory. Two African American members of the audience were heckling him, and Richards flew into a rage, using the "N-word" and also saying something about lynching. Thereafter, Richards retired from doing standup comedy.He later apologize profusely, but the damage was done.
Before landing the role that established his celebrity, he had appeared on several other shows, such as "Cheers" and "Night Court" and had been in a handful of movies.
