Known for his roles in Inside Out, Big Mouth, Spin City, Mad About You, Luck, Red Oaks, multiple Stargates, and just about every other good sitcom ever produced, not to mention runs of The Producers and other stage shows, Kind is as humble and witty as he is busy. He now stars in a new sci-fi drama about augmented reality glasses, Auggie, even though, in his own words, he's absolutely terrible with technology. The New York-based actor regales us with tales from his long and storied career, as well as his children's absolute disinterest in any of it. All this and more in this episode of The Fandom Files!
