The remains of missing Hollywood actor Charles Levin — who portrayed the nervous mohel in a 1993 episode of TV’s “Seinfeld” — were believed to have been found in a remote part of Oregon.
The 70-year-old comedian was reported missing from Grants Pass on July 8 by his son, the Oregonian/Oregon Live reported Sunday.
A resident found Levin’s car, an orange 2012 Fiat, in a remote and nearly cut-off road Saturday.
Troopers found the remains of Levin’s fawn-colored pug, Boo Boo Bear, inside the vehicle.
Crews scouring the steep terrain found the human remains, and there’s a “high probability” they are Levin, the Grants Pass Department of Public Safety said Sunday.
No other details were given, and the medical examiner will make the final identification.
Born in Chicago in 1949, Levin was known for his recurring role as Elliot Novak on the CBS sitcom “Alice” that aired from 1976 to 1985.
He also portrayed the mohel who snips part of Jerry’s finger in the “Seinfeld” episode “The Bris” and Coco, the gay cook, on the pilot of “The Golden Girls.”
His film credits include “Annie Hall,” “The Golden Child” and “This Is Spinal Tap.”
