Seinfeld actor dies

Barney Martin, who played Morty Seinfeld, died today. He was 82 years old.

 

He was a character actor going back to the mid 1950s. He played Liza Minelli's father in "Arthur", and Herman Goering in the original "The Producers" by Mel Brooks. Countless other roles on TV.

 

Aw that's really sad to hear...thanks for letting us know.

 

That is sad...he was funny. *sniffle*

 

Such a sad loss to the world of comedy.

 

aww, how awful! I loved morty...

 

thats so sad... i always watch seinfeld. even though they are all re-runs, they are all still so funny!

maybe they will do a tribute and have a marathon.. i think that would be the right thing to do.

 

what a bummer

Whenever I can't find my wallet, I always think of him in the episode where he thought someone stole it at the doctor's office.

My wallets gone!

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!! thats a great episode!

 

He was pretty funny. usually when there's a fill in for an original character, it fails. but he took morty seinfeld and took it to god-like levels. his memorable acting in this american sitcom will not be forgotten.

r.i.p. barney martin

 

awww, that's so sad! i love morty, he's hilarious!!! what did he die from?

 

That is so sad. I also though he was funny in Zoolander and The King of Queens.

 

that's the wrong guy. that's frank costanza, george's dad. played by jerry stiller. morty seinfeld is jerry's dad.

 

Oo yeah thats right. Still sad. What else was he in?

 

i LOVED morty seinfeld


'jerry, eat a plum!!'

 

i don't know, apparently some stuff inthe 50's and shit. he was cool, nonetheless.

He'll be missed.
