#9: Richard Kind as Dr. Mark Devanow
Richard Kind played Dr. Mark Devanow, Fran’s well-meaning but slightly neurotic husband. As Paul and Jamie’s close friend, Mark added another layer of humor with his awkward confidence and constant need for approval. His blend of charm and cluelessness made him a lovable part of the show’s friend group.

Before Mad About You, Kind was already a familiar TV face from Carol & Company and stage work in New York. His comedic instincts and offbeat energy helped make even the smallest moments memorable — turning Mark into one of the show’s most relatable oddballs.
