From Cosmo Kramer to cancel culture, the Emmy-winning actor has returned to the spotlight after an 18-year absence with the release of his new memoir"Entrances and Exits."Out of the public eye for much of the last two decades, he is moments from making his first live television appearance in years.
To help put the giddy in the giddy up during his slides, Richards made some modifications to the black Doc Martens shoes he hand-picked for the character to wear throughout the series. “Rather than saying funny, I wanted to do funny,” he explained. “I get to take falls and get the stuff in my eyes, and then at the end have a cover for it by saying, ‘I didn’t know it was a full box.’ And I’m standing there just covered in this crud. So, I could say funny, but I was doing funny, and the two connected. It just felt like a very whole performance.”
He watched the series for the first time recently with his then nine-year-son Antonio, saying he was finally able to watch with great objectivity because he was no longer so close to Kramer. He writes in the book that he wondered at the time if the show’s divisive finale would satisfy fans, and he even offers his preferred ending.
