Paul from Spin City hits it big! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Richard Kind, best known his role as the spazwit Paul on “Spin City”, has been cast as one of the two leads in the new Coen Bros’ movie.

Kind and Michael Stuhlbarg, a Tony-nominated actor with little experience in front of the cameras, will share the screen in “A Serious Man”, a black comedy pairing the duo as brothers.

Set in 1967, story centers on Larry Gopnik (Stuhlbarg), a Midwestern professor whose life begins to unravel when his wife sets out to leave him and his socially inept brother (Kind) won't move out of the house.

Shooting is set to start at the beginning of next month in Minneapolis.

Though he’s appeared in a bevy of movies – including “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” and “For Your Consideration” – this’d be the first major gig for 51-year-old Kind .

Mom has always liked Richard Kind since he was on Spin City and I discovered him too when I learned he provided the voice of Bing Bong in Disney's Inside Out and I can say that Spin City really showed Richard Kind's comedic talents and while many people say Richard's appearences on Mad About You are superb it was actually Spin City that gave Richard Kind's career a boost. Because thanks to Spin City Richard Kind blossomed and just like John Ratzenberger from Cheers Richard Kind's voice has become well known in Disney animated movies. By the way my favorite Spin City episode is the one where Paul goes on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire as a contestant and actually wins the million dollars and Richard and Regis Philbin worked so well as a team in that episode together. I can expect we will hear more from Richard Kind in the future soon

Hi, Bestie! I have always liked Richard Kind! He was also in the movie a Bugs life, remember? He has a voice that makes you laugh whatever role he is laying. Do you know if he is in any new movies?
