US comedian Richard Lewis known for exploring his neuroses in frantic, stream-of-consciousness diatribes while dressed in all-black, leading to his nickname The Prince of Pain, has died aged 76. Lewis, who revealed he had been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2023, died at his home in Los Angeles on Tuesday night after suffering a heart attack, according to his publicist Jeff Abraham. A regular performer in clubs and on late-night TV for decades, Lewis also played Marty Gold, the romantic co-lead opposite Jamie Lee Curtis, in the ABC US series Anything But Love and the reliably neurotic Prince John in Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men In Tights. He re-introduced himself to a new generation opposite Larry David in HBO's Curb Your Enthusiasm, kvetching regularly. amp.abc.net.au/article/103525638

I remember the first time I saw him was in this movie called The Wrong Guys. He was awesome. I was a fan after that.
RIP
