Birth name

Richard Bruce Kind

Richard Kind developed a career defined by sustained work across film, television, theater, and voice acting, often bridging comedy and drama within the same period. He gained broad recognition through television with Spin City, where his supporting role became a defining part of the show’s tone, and later through recurring appearances in series such as Mad About You, Scrubs, and Curb Your Enthusiasm. In film, he frequently collaborates with directors like the Coen brothers, appearing in A Serious Man and other ensemble-driven projects that rely on precise character work. His voice performances, including Bing Bong in Inside Out, expanded his visibility while maintaining his emphasis on character over star persona. Kind’s career reflects consistency within ensemble storytelling and long-term creative partnerships rather than leading-man trajectories.
