Seinfeld star Richards ‘sorry’ for racist tirade

THE actor who played eccentric neighbour Kramer in the hit TV series Seinfeld has apologised after launching a tirade of racial slurs at two black hecklers during a stand-up routine.

Michael Richards said he was “deeply sorry” about the barrage of “crap” at West Hollywood’s Laugh Factory, but denied he was a racist.

His outburst night reportedly began after the audience members shouted that he was not funny.
