#RIP Jerry Stiller
1927-2020
Gerald Isaac Stiller (June 8, 1927 – May 11, 2020)
Stiller was an American comedian, actor, and author. He spent many years as part of the comedy duo Stiller and Meara along with his wife, Anne Meara, whom he was married to for over 60 years, until her death in 2015.
Stiller saw a late-career resurgence starting in 1993, playing George Costanza's father Frank on the sitcom Seinfeld, a part which would earn Stiller an Emmy nomination. The same year Seinfeld went off the air, Stiller began his role as the eccentric Arthur Spooner on the CBS comedy series The King of Queens, another role which would garner Stiller widespread acclaim.
Stiller was the father of actor Ben Stiller, and the father and son would appear together in films such as Zoolander, Heavyweights, Hot Pursuit, The Heartbreak Kid, and Zoolander 2. In his later career, Stiller became known for playing grumpy and eccentric characters who were nevertheless beloved.
