Michael Richards, Kramer on “Seinfeld”, reflects on the racism scandal

Michael Richards, who played Cosmo Kramer for nine seasons of “Seinfeld,” apologizes for the racist slur incident that ended his career nearly 20 years ago. But he doesn’t expect a comeback.

Richards, 74, reflected on the 2006 incident in an interview with People magazine published Wednesday ahead of the release of his upcoming memoir, “Entrances and Exits.”

“I was sorry as soon as I said it on stage,” Richards said. “My anger was all over the place, and it came out hard and fast. Anger is quite a force, that was easy.”
