Richard Lewis and Larry David became linked in the public mind after Lewis was cast in David’s Curb Your Enthusiasm in 2000. But their connection goes back much further. Yesterday, David paid tribute to Lewis. “Richard and I were born three days apart in the same hospital and for most of my life he’s been like a brother to me,” David wrote in a statement shared by HBO. “He had that rare combination of being the funniest person and also the sweetest. But today he made me sob and for that I’ll never forgive him.”
