For years, the actor and writer starred alongside Larry David in his HBO show, Curb Your Enthusiasm, where he played a semi-fictionalized version of himself. He had most recently appeared in Season 12 of the show, which is airing on HBO.
In a statement shared by Lewis’ publicist, his wife, Joyce Lapinsky, said she “thanks everyone for all the love, friendship and support and asks for privacy at this time”.
Nicknamed “The Prince of Pain”, Lewis was known for poking fun at his own neuroses and hypochondria during his comedy routines.
Born in Brooklyn and raised in New Jersey, Lewis made a name for himself performing in clubs and on late-night TV.
Lewis had to take a break from starring in Season 11 of Curb Your Enthusiasm due to a series of surgeries.
