SEINFELD
   
 

Michael Ricards as Cosmo Kramer

He was born on July 21, 1948 in Los Angeles, California. At first, he wanted to become a dramatic actor, but ended up as a comic actor in the theater program at Valley College. Then, he attended the California Institute of Arts, where he met his wife, Cathleen. Finally, he earned his bachelor degree at Evergreen State College in Washington State.

After that, he went to Los Angeles and began working as a stand-up comedian, until he was called for a role in the series "Fridays". There, he became friend of another member of the cast, Larry David. In 1982, he appeared in the film "Young Doctors in Love", followed by many others. But in 1989, he was invited to join the sitcom "Seinfeld", as Jerry's eccentric neighbor, Kramer, which in fact is a character based on a real-life friend of Larry David.

   
   
  Some of his lines

Jerry: Elaine!
Elaine: Jerry! Jerry, oh, hi, welcome back! How were the shows?
Jerry: Great, I had fun. Where's the TV? Where's the VCR?
Elaine: They were stolen.
Jerry: Stolen? When?
Elaine: A couple of hours ago. The police are coming rightover.
Jerry: Stolen?
Elaine: Someone left the door open.
Jerry: [to Kramer] You left the door open?
Kramer: Uh, Jer, well, you know, I was cooking and I-I, uh, I came in to get this spatula... and I left the door open, because I was gonna bring the spatula right back!
Jerry: Wait, you left the lock open or the door open?
Kramer: The door.
Jerry: The door? You left the door open?
Kramer: Yeah, well, I was gonna bring the spatula right back!
Jerry: Yeah, and?
Kramer: Well, I got caught up... watching a soap opera... The Bold and the Beautiful.
Jerry: So the door was wide open?
Kramer: Wide open!
Jerry: And where were you?
Elaine: I was at Bloomingdale's... waiting for the shower to heat up.
Kramer: Look, Jerry, I'm sorry, I'm, uh, you have insurance, right buddy?
Jerry: No.
Kramer: How can you not have insurance?
Jerry: Because... I spent my money on the Clapgo D29. It's the most impenetrable lock on the market today... It has only one design flaw: the door... must be CLOSED!
Kramer: Jerry! I'm gonna find your stuff. I'm gonna solve it. I'm on the case, buddy, I'm on the case!
Jerry: Yeah, don't investigate. Don't pay me back, it was an accident.
Kramer: I made a mistake!
Elaine: These things happen...
Kramer: I'm human...
Jerry: In your way.

In "The Robbery"


Kramer: The library investigator's name is actually Bookman?
Librarian: It's true.
Kramer: That's amazing. That's like an ice cream man named Cone.
