The man literally stole every scene he was in. He was the crazy, neurotic father we all wanted when he played both Frank Costanza AND Arthur Spooner. Jerry Stiller has passed away from natural causes at the age of 92. His son Ben announced it this morning (see the tweet below)

Stiller and his wife Ann Meara who passed away in 2015 were part of the comedy team “Stiller & Meara” in the 50s and 60s.
