BARNEY MARTIN – BLADDER CANCER

Barney Martin brushed elbows with lawyers when he worked as an NYPD officer before taking on acting as a full-time job. The fellow started as a comedian and even delivered hilarious performances in front of his deputy commissioners. He is best remembered for his role as Jerry’s dad in the hit sitcom Seinfeld. Martin appeared in other TV shows, such as Sydney, 21 Jump Street, and Daddy Dearest.

To add to his ever-growing list of work, Martin has many movies that made him famous. Even before he first appeared on TV, he already had the rare skill of making an audience laugh and finding the sweet spot for charming them with his antics. For this reason, almost everyone took it badly when in March 2005, the beloved actor yielded of bladder cancer in Studio City, Los Angeles. He was 82 years old at the time, and his remains were cremated, with the ashes returned to his family.
