Comic-actor Hiram Kasten, who appeared on shows such as Seinfeld, Curb Your Enthusiasm and Saved By the Bell, has died at the age of 71 following a battle with prostate cancer.
An obituary for Kasten was posted Sunday afternoon on his Facebook page, noting that he died in the arms of his wife Diana Kisiel Kastenbaum ‘only hours after their 38th wedding anniversary.’
Kasten had appeared on a trio of Seinfeld episodes in 1993-1994, portraying Michael, a work colleague of Elaine Benes (Julia Louis-Dreyfus).
The obit noted that while Kasten ‘loved show business and lived his dream of being in show business … his most satisfying and greatest role though was as a family man’ to his spouse and daughter, Millicent Jade Kastenbaum.
‘He loved being a dad to his beautiful and brilliant daughter,’ the obit read, as ‘her many achievements in her young life and in her career as an Assistant District Attorney have made him burst with pride and love.’
