Comedy Legend Jerry Stiller — famous for playing George Costanza’s dad in Seinfeld — has died at 92
The actor explained that his father was a "very, very supportive dad" and he was someone he could count on to watch him perform or even hunt down his stolen bike as a child.
"He started running after the kid and I ran after my dad. He chased him down, the kid’s riding the bike, and he saw that my dad was running after him — like three or four blocks. The kid went into a lower level of a walk up on 86th street. My dad said ‘Wait here I’m gonna go in,' and he went in and 10 minutes go by and he doesn’t have the bike," he continued.To this day, the actor said he will never forget what happened next.
"He let the kid keep the bike because he felt bad," he said, explaining that this was just the kind of guy his father was.Ben then shared a final memory of his father, retelling the time he called Jerry while he was high on LSD.
