Twitter

Jerry Stiller and Jason Alexander

Longtime actor Jerry Stiller died of natural causes at the age of 92. His death was announced on Twitter by his son, actor Ben Stiller. Jerry Stiller is perhaps best known for his role in Seinfeld as Frank Costanza, the father of main character George Costanza.

Shortly after news of Stiller’s death broke, Jason Alexander, who played George Costanza on the famous show, posted a tribute to the man who played his on-screen father.

He wrote: “Such sad news that my beloved friend, Jerry Stiller, has passed. He was perhaps the kindest man I ever had the honor to work beside. He made me laugh when I was a child and every day I was with him. A great actor, a great man, a lovely friend. #RIPJerryStiller I Love you.”

He soon followed up that tweet with another:

He wrote: “Yeah. I adored this man,” along with a photo of the two together.


Stiller & Alexander Were On-Screen Father & Son For Many Years

Jerry Stiller appeared in Seinfeld as Frank Costanza in 26 episodes over the course of five seasons. Jason Alexander played the role of his son, George Costanza. In the show, the two constantly butt heads and rarely get along. A recurring theme in the show is George Costanza’s attempts to be more independent of his parents, which he frequently fails to do.

This is a compilation of Frank Costanza’s funniest moments on the show:

Seinfeld | Frank Costanza“Frank Costanza is played by Jerry Stiller and is George’s father in the sitcom Seinfeld. He his highly eccentric and very quick to anger. Former cook in the Army and detests removing his shoes in other people’s homes. Due to his work as a businessmen traveling to Korea, he speaks Korean. He invents the “holiday” Festivus, as a reaction to cultural commercialism of Christmas, and which George has few fond memories of. Co-creator of the “manssiere”. He associates with a strange lawyer who wears a cape.”2013-05-13T18:14:18Z
