“The big reason is I have three children in college,” he said. “I will whore myself because I have to pay for their college.”
“People say, ‘Why do you take that? Didn’t you know it was terrible?’ I took it because it’s not on my shoulders,” said Kind to Vulture. “I’m an actor for hire. That’s what I do. They’re paying me, it will give me fame, and it might lead to other work — those are the reasons I take it. I wish I could say that the challenge was the greatest reason, but it’s because parts are offered to me and I like to act. I’ll pretty much take 93 percent of jobs.”

This whole interview was such a delight but that final bit about Daniel Day Lewis’s was a hoot!
He’s an American treasure
Richard Kind is a treasure. He’s always been the hypochondriac patient on Scrubs to me, because that’s the first role I remember seeing him in. But the fact that I remember a small recurring role over a handful of scattered episodes in a 20 year old sitcom just speaks to how memorable even his smallest performances are.
We know, we’ve seen Sharknado 2
Generations of children recognize this man. He is a legend.
I have no acting credits, Richard, but same buddy.
An actor who doesn’t take their craft too seriously is an actor I like.
