Michael Richards

Birger Rokne's tribute page to

Michael Richards - Kramer.

The creators of the Seinfeld series, Jerry Seinfeld and Larry Davis, decided to write

this strange man into the manuscript, and so they created one of the most popular

tv-character today.

Michael Richards plays the character Kramer in the Seinfeld serie, and Richards

depiction of Kramer has earned him cult status rarely bestowed upon an actor.

In performing his role as Kramer he brings a physical agility that is rarely seen.

Influenced by the legendary Charlie Chaplin, his specialty is using physical comedy.

The man with this insane hair style, falls in Seinfeld's door in a new way every day.

You could ask yourselves: How many ways is it possible to make an entrance trough

a door? Surely Kramer must have tried the most of them.

Kramer is a simple person who gets involved a little bit to much in other peoples lives.

His full name in the serie is Cosmo Kramer, and he lives at least half his life in Jerry's

apartment, where he borrows things, watches TV and eats. It's easy to be charmed

by a man that lives 5 minutes before the present.

Ironically, the zany one tends to be the groups's etiquette watchdog. Kramer once

said in an episode: "Without rules, there's chaos." And in the episode "The Face

Painter" he says : "Good manners are the glue of society. If you don't want to be a

part of society, Jerry, why don't you move to the east side!?!"
