Richards actually seems like a pretty quiet guy in real life. I've seen him out in public before. We shop at some of the same stores. He seems like a really nice, quiet guy. I guess once he gets on the stage he becomes a totally different person. I think that when he goes on a stage, he actually has to get into character much in the same way that an actor does when he plays a part. I really don't think that that was the real Michael Richards saying those things. I'll bet that he has never behaved that way in real life. I still hold him accountable for his behavior. Just because you are on stage, it does not give you the freedom to behave that way. His behavior was quite offensive.
By the way, I am no fan of hecklers either. People have no right to go into a club and heckle a comedian. But it does happen sometimes and comedians needs to be prepared and act professionally. Richards was obviously not prepared.
