Besides his own stand-up specials, Richard Lewis was probably best known for his role on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.” The comedian starred as himself in several episodes across the 12-season series. One of his final appearances aired just weeks before his passing. Lewis had shared his excitement for the show on his last social media post before his death. He tweeted, “What a night! I loved Episode 3 of #curbyourenthusiasm…” His post showed just how much “Curb Your Enthusiasm” and his work meant to him, and he didn’t have any plans for stopping in the future.
Lewis had revealed to Vanity Fair in February 2024 that Season 12 of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” would be his last. Although he knew his time on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” was ending, Lewis had left the door open for more opportunities. When asked by the outlet if he would do more acting, he said, “It would depend on what the role is … I intend to do some more acting. It has to just be the right situation.” Unfortunately, because of his sudden passing, Lewis’ aspirations for more acting gigs have been cut short. However, fans of “Curb Your Enthusiasm” are hoping that the already-filmed episodes of Season 12 will feature Lewis at least once more.
