The late actor – who was known for appearing in shows such as The Middle and Friends – died on December 22, 2025 in Los Angeles at the age of 60.Â

Finn was born in the state of Illinois in July 1965 and graduated from Marquette University in 91987 – where he became good friends with comedian Chris Farley. They played on the school rugby team and were roommates.
He became a member of The Second City’s National Touring Company along with his buddy Farley, and together they performed in their shows in Chicago.
The experience helped Finn to perfect his improv skills and it soon led to breakout roles in The George Wendt Show and Murphy Brown.
But Finn is perhaps best known for his role in the ABC sitcom The Middle.
The show starred Patricia Heaton and Neil Flynn as middle-class, middle-aged and middle-income couple Frankie and Mike Heck and revolved around the daily chaos and humor of raising three kids.
Finn played their friend Bill Norwood from 2011 to 2018, a friendly, neighborly guy who liked to watch the Colts with Mike.
