Stateside performer Pat Finn, who featured in popular television series like "Friends", "Seinfeld" and "The Middle", has died at the age of 60.
The comedy and improvisation performer passed away at his residence in Los Angeles recently having undergone treatment for cancer from 2022 onward, as reported by reports.
"He never met a stranger - just potential friends he didn't know yet," his loved ones said in a message.
They added that he had "experienced life to the fullest - with happiness and energy".
His initial on-screen part was on the George Wendt Show in the mid-90s, where he appeared as the brother of the main character.
He was also seen in a recurring role on "Murphy Brown" in the latter half of the 1990s.
He appeared as Joe Mayo in Seinfeld in 1998, portraying a social organizer famous for delegating tedious tasks to his guests.
During the 90s and 2000s, he had guest spots on numerous hit series, including:
He was most recognized for playing Bill Norwood in The Middle, featuring across eight seasons between 2011 and 2018.
His work in movies include It's Complicated (2009) and Santa Paws 2: The Santa Pups.
Beyond his television work, Finn was an improv performer and also taught at the Colorado university, where he was a faculty member.
He was part of a six-person improv troupe known as Beer Shark Mice.
"Pat guided, supported, and advised numerous pupils over the years and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone anywhere who has an unkind word to say about him," his loved ones expressed.
Offering condolences, peer Richard Kind remarked there was "not a more kind, gentle, or funny, down to earth person you could encounter".
"Always positive, assisting others to improve and be funnier. A great dad, a great guy," he shared publicly.
Finn is remembered by his spouse Donna, three children, and his mother, father, and brothers/sisters.
