RIP Daniel von Bargen

Apparently Daniel von Bargen has died.

He played the sheriff in O Brother Where Art Thou and George Costanza’s boss on Seinfeld.

Frankly, I thought he died in 2012 when he shot himself in the head.

I intend to make a donation in his memory to the Human Fund

I felt so bad for him when I heard that he shot himself. Amputations are tough.

The attempted suicide story was so so awful. Hope he found some peace in the meantime.

In lieu of flowers his family requests that donations be made to the Human Fund.

I can’t believe no one beat you to that joke.

Also Commandant Spangler on Malcolm in the Middle. Ironically the character was an amputee except both hands (eventually).

He was a talented and funny guy. What a hard life he had.

Just noticed post No. 2.

D’oh! :smack:

Yeah, the last few years were pretty bad I think. I hope he had a good family.

sorry to hear this. Loved him in “The Postman”.
