The “Seinfeld” role of Joe Mayo in “The Reverse Peephole” episode is still beloved by fans of the show.
Finn also appeared in 18 episodes of the Nickelodeon sow “Marvin Marvin,” and had roles in his share of movies, too, including “Dude, Where’s My Car,” “I Love You, Beth Cooper,” and “It’s Complicated.”
Deadline reported that the actor had three children — Cassidy, Caitlin and Ryan — and he is survived by them as well as his wife, Donna, and his parents.
“This guy wasn’t just a celebrity to me,” comedian Jeff Dye wrote on X. “He was a friend. One of the best dudes I knew with a PERFECT sense of humor. I love you Pat Finn and I’ll see you again in the after, we can sing together and shake our heads about all the meanness in the used to be.”
