Richard Philip Lewis (born June 29, 1947) is an American stand-up comedian and actor. He came to prominence in the 1980s as a comedian specializing in self-deprecating humor before turning to acting. He is also known for co-starring in the comedy series Anything but Love (1989–1992) and for his recurring and semi-autobiographical role in HBO. The latest tweets from @MosesGG.
Richard Lewis broke two big stories on Twitter, sharing that HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm is filming and he may appear in an episode.
Lewis previously revealed that he would likely have to sit out the upcoming season of Curb due to hideous back pain. His pain was so extreme he’d have to be wheeled onto the set and then return to his trailer writhing in pain. But he is going to rally for at least one episode, delivering the good news that season 11 is underway.

Richard Lews is recovering from surgery
Lewis broke the news on Twitter. “Great news for me!” he shared, along with a photo on set. “Although I’m still recovering from three surgeries and missing Season 11 of Curb, [Larry David] called me and asked if there was any chance if I felt strong enough to do one episode! I am and here I’m on the set to shoot it. I’m so grateful.”
He previously shared on Twitter that he would not be appearing in the upcoming season due to pain. “What a ride, LD!” Lewis tweeted in Jan. “I love you, buddy. Tragically, these past 18 months I’ve endured a back and two shoulder surgeries and not able to be in #curbyourenthusiasm for season 11. I’ll be watching…”
