Richard Kind Says He’s the ‘Luckiest Guy’ as Career Soars: ‘I Just Like Going to Work and Playing Pretend’

Richard Kind discusses his recent career groove with appearances on "Only Murders in the Building," "Everybody's Live with John Mulaney," and more.

Last year, Kind played himself in an episode of the Netflix comedy “ Girls5Eva,” in which he self-described himself as a “medium time” actor — or a performer that is always working, but is never too high on the call sheet. “When you look at George Clooney or Brad Pitt, these are people whose careers are based on how successful their most recent box office is,” he told Vulture in 2024. Garry Moore used to say — and this is back when there were 120 shows on the air and there were only three networks — ‘You should always want to be about number 25, because you know you’re going to get picked up, but you’re not important enough for the suits to come down and check on you.’ I understand the sentiment.”
