Seinfeld actor Michael Richards has addressed the racist outburst which effectively ended his career almost 20 years ago, saying he was “immediately sorry” but that he’s “not looking for a comeback”.
The interview is the latest in a series of steps back into the public eye as Richards prepares to release his memoir, titled Entrances and Exits, next month. “I’m not racist,” Richards told People, of the 2006 Laugh Factory incident. “I have nothing against Black people.

“I didn’t feel deserving,” he said. “I was never really satisfied with my Seinfeld performance. Fame magnified my insecurities.”
