Michael Richards, forever enshrined in people\u2019s minds as the incomparably quirky Kramer on \u201cSeinfeld,\u201d was one of thousands of people who lost their homes last year to the wildfires in the Palisades Park<\/a> neighborhood of Los Angeles. <\/p>\n

But he didn\u2019t get angry like many of his neighbors. Instead, he became reflective. From those ashes, Richards is getting back on the public stage after years of self-imposed public exile after a shocking racist outburst he made toward a heckler at a comedy club in 2006.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n
