Maybe you&#8217;ve seen him on &#8220;Poker Face,&#8221; or &#8220;Mid-Century Modern,&#8221; or &#8220;Only Murders in the Building.&#8221; He&#8217;s also the announcer and sidekick on the Netflix talk show &#8220;Everybody&#8217;s Live with John Mulaney.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>For 45 years, he&#8217;s worked on Broadway (earning a Tony nomination for &#8220;The Big Knife&#8221;), and in movies and television, to become a respected actor. But that wasn&#8217;t always his goal. &#8220;When I was young, lying in bed, dreaming of stardom, I wanted stardom,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t wanna be a good actor; I wanted stardom.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Kind thought he&#8217;d follow his father into his Princeton, N.J., jewelry business. &#8220;That I&#8217;m an actor is so wrong,&#8221; he said. &#8220;I should have gone into my dad&#8217;s store. I should be in business. I should have been a lawyer. I should have done what is expected of a suburban middle-class kid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said growing up he was teased more than most: &#8220;I was a fat kid. I bet I was a loser. I&#8217;d might have made fun of me!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But at summer camp, a friend gave him what became an essential life lesson: &#8220;He taught me how to laugh at myself,&#8221; Kind said. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Was that laugh-at-yourself-before-other-people-do a defense mechanism?&#8221; I asked. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Yes, absolutely. Absolutely, absolutely. He was a fat kid, too, who then lost weight. I eventually lost weight. Still a fat kid even to this day. I&#8217;ll never be a thin person\u2026. In my head, I&#8217;m a fat, fat person.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>In the 1970s, self-assurance developed on stage at Northwestern University, and at Chicago&#8217;s legendary improv theater, the Second City. &#8220;Six nights a week at Second City, that is my Harvard of acting,&#8221; Kind said. &#8220;Some people would say it&#8217;s the Harvard of comedy. It&#8217;s not. It was my Harvard of acting.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Even with that on his r\u00e9sum\u00e9, there were still doubts: &#8220;My dad used to ask my professors at school or my directors, and these were his exact words: &#8216;Does he have it? Is he any good?&#8217; He would not trust himself to say, &#8216;Oh, my son is a good actor.&#8217; He would ask somebody else, &#8216;Is he a good actor?&#8217; <em>What the hell?<\/em> <em>Look at me, I&#8217;m a good actor!<\/em>&#8220;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/12\/27f5d1a5-6c21-4ea0-8a57-c239905f0a56\/thumbnail\/620x310\/db1b478cf5342e3343265711b92c3a1d\/richard-kind-montage.jpg#\" alt=\"richard-kind-montage.jpg \" height=\"310\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets1.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/12\/27f5d1a5-6c21-4ea0-8a57-c239905f0a56\/thumbnail\/620x310\/db1b478cf5342e3343265711b92c3a1d\/richard-kind-montage.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/12\/27f5d1a5-6c21-4ea0-8a57-c239905f0a56\/thumbnail\/1240x620\/83343d27ba1b2105f8e9a53b1aa825b0\/richard-kind-montage.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Richard Kind in (clockwise from top left) &#8220;Spin City&#8221;; &#8220;Curb Your Enthusiasm&#8221;; &#8220;A Serious Man&#8221;; &#8220;Inside Out&#8221;; &#8220;Only Murders in the Building&#8221;; and &#8220;Argo.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                ABC; John P.

Here we are at a recent New York Mets charity poker event. &#8220;I used to be very good at this,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Then, I had children and moved to New York. Children can ruin a poker game \u2026 Every time I bet, I&#8217;m like this, thinking, <em>Well, how will I pay for my kids&#8217; college?<\/em>&#8221; <\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-large\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/12\/d8c2d920-947d-4d3e-a91f-be2ab2a56f74\/thumbnail\/620x465\/0d2bc5df77f801371574a91e338c6e15\/richard-kind-poker.jpg#\" alt=\"richard-kind-poker.jpg \" height=\"465\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/12\/d8c2d920-947d-4d3e-a91f-be2ab2a56f74\/thumbnail\/620x465\/0d2bc5df77f801371574a91e338c6e15\/richard-kind-poker.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/07\/12\/d8c2d920-947d-4d3e-a91f-be2ab2a56f74\/thumbnail\/1240x930\/9c428d6fce21f4fac8b2d45756a02cb3\/richard-kind-poker.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">All in: Richard Kind with CBS News&#8217; Dr. Jon LaPook.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                CBS News<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In some ways, Kind&#8217;s success is all about the risks he&#8217;s taken. &#8220;This business is very cruel to actors,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Truly, it&#8217;s very cruel. Some people call it insulting. I don&#8217;t call it insulting, but I do say it is cruel. How much did I make my first episode of &#8216;Curb Your Enthusiasm&#8217;? How much did I make?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Not a clue,&#8221; I said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Take a guess.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;First episode? $2,500?&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s a good guess. $700!&#8221; Kind said. &#8220;You go in with the attitude that everybody who&#8217;s casting this product wants to make &#8216;Seinfeld money.&#8217; They wanna make a lot of money. I walk in saying, &#8216;I can help you make this great. I am the right guy for this.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>And with a flourishing career built on being exactly the right guy, Richard Kind is grateful just to be at the same table with other actors. &#8220;I am parsley on a plate of meat and potatoes,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Now, I&#8217;m good. I look great there. I&#8217;m the freshest parsley! But they&#8217;re meat and potatoes. What do I do? I help make the plate look great. That&#8217;s fine. That&#8217;s what I usually do. But I can be cut out. I&#8217;m just not necessary all the time. And I&#8217;m fine, fine, fine with that.
