Richard Kind curse?

Posted: 4/20/07 at 11:18pm

I was just on IBDB and was looking at Mr. Kind's Broadway appearances and I noticed this:

Once he stepped into the role of Foxwell J. Sly/The Judge in Sly Fox on August 17 2004, the show closed August 22.

And once he stepped into the role of Andre in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels on Aug 3 2006, the show closed September 3rd.

Coincidence?

Um, I don't know about Sly Fox, but wasn't DRS struggling at the box office before Kind came in?

If I remember seeing Sly Fox before he joined, and it was AWFUL. Based on that, I can't believe it wasn't floundering already.

Well, he did step into THE PRODUCERS a few years ago, and it's closing on Sunday.

Cheyenne Jackson tickled me. AFTER ordering SoMMS a drink but NOT tickling him, and hanging out with Girly in his dressing room (where he DIDN'T tickle her) but BEFORE we got married. To others. And then he tweeted Boobs. He also tweeted he's good friends with some chick on "The Voice" who just happens to be good friends with Tink's ex. And I'm still married.

Its only coincidence.

I mean you can say anything's a curse.

There's the supposed MTV-Reality Show-Couple curse: Most of the couples from those shows [Nick and Jessica, Dave and Carmen] slipt after doing their reality shows.

I thought you were wondering if He curses.
I hear he does and I saw him in Bed Bath and Beyond the other day.
Maybe that will close down also.

I do remember thinking about the Jennifer Jason Leigh curse.

She was going into Cabaret when it was at the Kit Kat Club and that day scaffolding collapsed on the street and they closed the street for weeks forcing the show to transfer to Studio 54.

A few years later if I remember correctly her first performance in PROOF was September 11, 2001.

Surprised that you didn't mention how he took over the part of the husband in "The Tale of the Allergist's Wife" and IT closed.

And how he visited his 99 year old grandfather in the hospital and his grandfather DIED...

He did a pilot for a sitcom opposite George Clooney, and it took a whole five years (and numerous other pilots) before Clooney became a star.

B3TA07 beat me to it, I was gonna say Bounce too.

It's very clear this man has the devil inside. He should be exorcised before being cast in anything else. If anyone sees him, please direct him to the Church Of Alexyss.
