Richard Philip Lewis was an American stand-up comedian, actor, and writer. He rose to prominence in the 1980s, becoming known for his dark, neurotic, and self-deprecating humor. As an actor, he co-starred with Jamie Lee Curtis in the sitcom Anything but Love, portrayed Prince John in the film Robin Hood: Men in Tights, and played a recurring role as a semi-fictionalized version of himself in HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm.
