Richard Philip Lewis (born June 29 1947) is an American comedian and actor best known for his frequent appearances as himself in Larry David's sitcom Curb Your Enthusiasm.

Richard Lewis (born 1969) is the leader of the Family Party, a political party in New Zealand, and was formerly leader of the now defunct Destiny New Zealand, a Christian party.

Lewis was born in Auckland, New Zealand. At the age of twenty-two, he joined the New Zealand Police. He served as a police officer for eleven years. In 2001, he became the manager of Destiny Social Services, a branch of the Auckland-based Destiny Church. In 2003 Lewis was instrumental in the establishment of the Destiny New Zealand political party, the origins of which derived primarily from Destiny Church which is headed by Brian Tamaki.

The party went on to stand 42 candidates in electorates nationwide, being one of only 3 parties to stand in all 7 Maori electorates. While the party did not achieve representation at the 2005 General Election, it was the highest polling party outside of parliament.

In the 2005 election, Lewis stood as his party's candidate for the Manukau East electorate and come third behind the two major party candidates from Labour and National with 1111 votes (3.4%).

In 2007, Destiny New Zealand was disbanded, with Lewis instead becoming leader of a new Family Party.

Richard Lewis CBE. (10 May 1914 - 13 November 1990) was an English tenor. Born Thomas Thomas in Manchester, Lewis began his career as a boy soprano and studied at the Royal Manchester College of Music (now merged into the Royal Northern College of Music) from 1939 to 1941. He made his operatic debut in 1939, and from 1947 onwards, sang at the Glyndebourne Opera Festivals and at Covent Garden (London). He made his debut in the United States in 1955.

In 1963 he was named a commander of the Order of the British Empire. He died in Eastbourne.

Following his death in 1990 his widow, Elizabeth Lewis (known as Elizabeth Muir-Lewis - Mrs Richard Lewis) established the Richard Lewis/Jean Shanks award at Glyndebourne, made possible by funding from the pathologist Dr Jean Shanks (Princess Galizine).

In 2000 Elizabeth moved the award to the Royal Academy of Music wishing to help young singers at that more vulnerable time in their careers. There are two vocal prizes: 1st prize - £10,000 2nd prize - £5,000 In addition there is the Webb accompanist's prize - £3,500

A rehearsal room has been established in the Royal Academy of Music, known as the Richard Lewis room. The Royal Academy of Music archives have in depth information, scores, and photographs of Richard Lewis. In 2005 Jean Shank's will left a further legacy to the RL/JS Trust enabling it to double to £10,000 the existing John Christie Glyndebourne Award previously solely funded by The Worshipful Company of Musicians. The trustees of the Richard Lewis/Jean Shanks Trust will sponsor up to £10,000 to support the important understudy scheme at Glyndebourne. The award trustees will welcome donations for this important vocal legacy. This way it can flourish for long into the future. Already it has produced outstanding young singers who benefited from assistance during their training. The Trust also sponsors to the sum of £10,00 the finalists in the Cardiff Singer of the Year competition. These prizes, and the funds raised so far to support them, make the Richard Lewis/Jean Shanks Award one of the best-funded and high profile musical charities in the UK, awarding up to £25,000 a year in prizes.
