Michael Richards

Rumors are abounding that Michael Richards will get pulled from Cat Tale, where he’s set to do a voice over for the character of Ace.
We bet he wishes he wasn’t so greedy now, and had worked more with Jerry Seinfeld in his spin-off sitcom. Back then NBC says Kramer was too greedy-Richards was offered $600,000 (his final salary on Seinfeld) per episode and he turned the offer DOWN. He wants $750,000 and creative input! Jerry Seinfeld created the character and he also intended to do a lot of the writing for the show, but we don’t see him on the writing credits…

Not all the stories about Michael Richards are bad.
In 2001 the Seinfeld star was no holiday scrooge. He and a friend were driving home from Las Vegas when they stopped at a convenience store in Barstow, Calif. The despondent store clerk confessed to Michael’s pal that he was having the worst day of his life. He explained he’d bought a car for $300 and when he went to register it he learned it was stolen and he was arrested. It cost him $1000 – his kids Christmas money – to bail himself out. When Michael heard about the depressing story he quietly gave his friend a check for $1300 to give to the miserable clerk.

In 2005, producers of a Zyrtec commercial were shooting on location at a house in Hancock park when they had an unexpected visitor. Michael Richards strolled right onto the set “Looking nothing like his Seinfeld character Kramer – he was wearing a gorgeous suit.” Richards sat down on a director’s chair near the production staff who were watching the monitor and remarked “You know, it’s AMAZING that it takes so many days to film a commercal- longer than a weekly sitcom.” Puzzled heads turned at the familiar voice. It so happened Richards was paying a visit to his girlfriend actress Beth Skipp, who starred in the commercial.
