The flop ; Whirling ; Not funny ; Heart-work ; The light -- Acknowledgments."Three-time Emmy Award-winning actor Michael Richards, beloved for starring as Cosmo Kramer on the groundbreaking television series Seinfeld and considered one of the great physical comedians of our time, serves up an irresistibly candid, insightful, humorous, and complex memoir about his life and storied career with Jerry Seinfeld, Larry David, Jason Alexander, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and other celebrated figures in show business. In Entrances and Exits, Michael opens the door to the evolution of the iconic character who brought the kavorka to Seinfeld and shares the real-life insecurities and successes he experienced creating one of television's most memorable characters, and the ways the two are forever intertwined on and offscreeen. Michael also reveals his unusual childhood cared for by his schizophrenic grandmother and single hard-working mother, and his deep desire to unravel the mystery of his father, a search that led well into his mid-life. He also writes about his early passion for theater and performance, his tour of duty in the army, his interest in psychology and religion, and his days coming up in LA's comedy clubs with Robin Williams, Andy Kaufman, and Sam Kinison. For the first time, Michael openly explores the night of his outrageous anger onstage in a comedy club that led to nearly two decades of self-exile. The resulting quest is told with raw, relatable candor that fits the sincerity of the man. Entrances and Exits offers truths into the way of laughter, also the messy stuff in life, and the painful process to know one's self. Few people ever speak about what happens after you apologize. As Michael says, "I had to go deeper into what I was apologizing for--to really know what was at the basis of my anger and the upset. I had to come apart over this in order to put together a better person." In Entrances and Exits, Michael comes through the door to your hearts and minds, not as Cosmo Kramer, but as himself."--
