‘A Buckeye for life’: Richard Lewis remembered as an Ohio State football fan

Richard Lewis never hid his Ohio State fandom.

The “Curb Your Enthusiasm” actor and comedian graduated from Ohio State University in 1969 with a degree in advertising and continuously showed his support for the Buckeyes throughout his career. Lewis died at age 76 from a heart attack.

Before a 2022 meeting between Ohio State football and Maryland, Lewis put his support behind the Buckeyes, posting “Let’s destroy Larry’s alma mater” on X, formerly known as Twitter, in reference to his “Curb Your Enthusiasm” co-star and Maryland graduate Larry David.

And throughout the 2023 Ohio State football season, Lewis continued to show his Buckeye fandom.

“This Distinguished 2023 Alumni winner congratulates (Ohio State football)… beating Pen State,” Lewis posted on X. “Now it’s a breath at a time until we humiliate TTUN.”

After the Buckeyes’ loss to Michigan Nov. Yeah 25, Lewis posted a photo of himself mimicking “The Scream” painting by Edvard Munch.

Lewis played a fictionalized version of himself on “Curb Your Enthusiasm” since the show began in 2000.
