	Actors - Richard Lewis

Richard Lewis (born June 29, 1947 in Brooklyn, New York) is a Jewish-American comedian and actor. He has starred in sitcoms such as Hiller & Diller, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Anything but Love. He also plays Matt's rabbi father-in-law on 7th Heaven.

Lewis met Larry David, who was born three days after him, at Camp All America, in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, when they were thirteen. He is now featured in a recurring role on David's Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Lewis claims to be the originator of the expression "the ________ from hell" (the blank from hell) as in "the date from hell" or "the roommate from hell". This theory is expounded in the Curb Your Enthusiasm episode "The Nanny From Hell".

A documentary called Diary Of A Young Comic (1974) captures a young Lewis as he moves from New York to Los Angeles.

Lewis has also achieved moderate success in films, appearing as Prince John in Robin Hood: Men In Tights and as Julian Peters in Once Upon A Crime
.
