Sad news for fans of the beloved NBC comedy Seinfeld.
Earlier this week, Peter Crombie, an actor who was best known for playing 'Crazy' Joe Davola on the 1990s television series, died at 71. The news was announced in an Instagram post from Crombie's ex-wife, Nadine Kijner.
“It is with shock and extreme sadness that I share my ex-husband died this morning,” Kijner wrote alongside a photo carousel that showed the two on their wedding day. “Thank you for so many wonderful memories and being such a good man. Fly free into the Un-boundless source of light, Peter. May you be greeted with love by your parents, and Oliver 🐈⬛."
She concluded, "So so many people loved you because you were a kind, giving, caring and creative Soul."
Although details surrounding Crombie's death are undisclosed, TMZ reported that the actor died on Wednesday morning after a short illness.
Playing 'Crazy' Joe on the Jerry Seinfeld-led show, Crombie's character was memorable for his monotone speech and erratic behavior, being a stalker to the titular character and briefly dating Elaine, much to Seinfeld's dismay.
Although Crombie seemingly retired from acting in 2000, he's also had parts in 1997 miniseries House of Frankenstein, 2000 coming-of-age drama My Dog Skip and 1994 crime drama Natural Born Killers.
