Richard Kind

Richard Kind (also credited as Richard Bruce Kind; ریچارد کایند) is an American actor and comedian known for an eclectic career across film, television, stage, and voice work. Born on November 22, 1956, in North Trenton, New Jersey, he has built a reputation for smart, character-driven performances that move easily between comedy and drama.

On TV, Kind became a familiar face through standout roles on long-running series, including Mad About You and Spin City, and later appearances on projects such as East New York, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Watcher. His screen credits also span acclaimed films, with memorable turns in A Serious Man (as Uncle Arthur) and The Station Agent (as Louis Tiboni), alongside titles like Clifford and tick, tick... BOOM! (as Walter Bloom).

Kind’s foundation is deeply theatrical: he began performing in Chicago, trained with The Second City, and made an early Broadway entrance in The Pirates of Penzance. He has since appeared in major productions including The Producers, earning industry recognition such as a Drama Desk Award and a Tony nomination.

Beyond entertainment, Kind is also associated with arts and social-justice advocacy, supporting organizations that promote public policy for the arts and civil rights initiatives.
