Charles Levin, ‘Seinfeld’ Actor, Is Found Dead in Oregon
The authorities in Oregon said Monday that they had located the remains of the actor Charles Levin, best known for his one-off portrayal of a mohel in “Seinfeld” and a recurring role in the series “Alice” in the 1980s.
Mr. Levin, 70, was found on Saturday several hundred feet from his car, which contained the remains of his pug, Boo Bear, in an “incredibly remote” area near Grants Pass in southwestern Oregon, said Warren Hensman, the city’s public safety chief.
The case is not being treated as a homicide or suicide, he said.
The car was off an “almost impassable road” and had been “disabled due to terrain,” the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety said in a statement.
The actor, who had lived in Grants Pass, had not been heard from since June 28, said his son, Jesse Levin, adding that his father’s last phone call was to a family friend in the area. “It was breaking up,” he said. “It wasn’t very clear what he was saying, but he did seem to sound confused and lost.”
Hours after the car and the dog inside were found, the authorities came upon Mr. Levin’s body, Mr. Hensman said. He said that he could not comment on the body’s condition but that it had been there for at least “a couple of days.”
