The entertainment world is mourning the loss of beloved comedian Hiram Kasten, known for his role in the hit 90s sitcom Seinfeld. The news of his passing at the age of 71 was confirmed by his family, stating that he passed away peacefully at his home in New York.
Kasten's official Facebook page shared an obituary, paying tribute to his passion for acting and his impressive career in theatre, comedy, and television. His dream was always to be an actor, and he achieved that dream with his talent and hard work. From his humble beginnings on the comedy circuit, Kasten rose to fame and struck up a lifelong friendship with Jerry Seinfeld, whom he met while performing.
Seinfeld fans will remember Kasten for his role as Michael, a co-worker to Elaine Benes, in the beloved sitcom. But Kasten's talent was not limited to Seinfeld, as he also made guest appearances on popular shows such as Everybody Loves Raymond, Curb Your Enthusiasm, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Saved by the Bell, and Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
In 2017, Kasten's health struggles forced him to step back from performing and pursuing his career. He battled prostate cancer and Crohn's disease, among other illnesses, for the past seven years. Despite his health challenges, Kasten remained a devoted husband and father, leaving behind his wife and daughter.
Fans and colleagues have been paying tribute to Kasten, recognizing his talent and kind heart. One fan, Michael, wrote, "Multi-talented. Act, sing, dance, direct, write. A heart as large as his talent. Mentor to many."
