I caught a blurb in the trades that Barney Martin, veteran actor best known as Jerry Seinfeld's father Morty on "Seinfeld" died on Monday of cancer. He was 82.
I haven't seen this reported anywhere, not even IMDB, yet. So sad for an actor who created the role of Amos Hart in the Broadway Musical "Chicago".

I got a bunch of flowers from a customer at work today too!
Because I sorted him out due to another departments heinous, beaureaucratic ways. They kept him waiting in my branch for 4 HOURS!
And it's not like he was young fella, he's nearly 66.
I felt awful for him, so got on the case and kicked some butt on his behalf.
What a sweetheart.
