Richard Kline was born in New York City. He was raised in Queens by parents who practiced Reform Judaism. He attended Queens College and has a Master of Fine Arts degree in theater from Northwestern University. After he graduated, he served with the United States Army in the Vietnam War.

Kline became involved in theater and made his professional debut in 1971 as part of the Lincoln Center Repertory Company. Regional theater productions during this period included Chemin de Fer (in Chicago with actor Dennis Franz), Death of a Salesman, and Love's Labour's Lost. A classically trained singer, Kline made his Broadway career debut in City of Angels, a musical (1990).

On Three's Company, Klein played Larry Dallas, a playboy neighbor, used car salesman, and best friend to John Ritter's Jack Tripper. Klein appeared in 110 episodes of Three's Company from 1977–1984, also appearing as Larry Dallas in the spinoff shows The Ropers (1979) and Three's a Crowd (1985).
