Len Lesser, the veteran character actor best known for his scene-stealing role as Uncle Leo on "Seinfeld," has died. He was 88.

Lesser's family said in a statement that he died Wednesday in Burbank, Calif., from cancer-related pneumonia.

Lesser's lengthy list of television credits included parts on "Get Smart," "That Girl," "The Munsters," "The Monkees," "The Rockford Files," "thirtysomething," "ER," and "Everybody Loves Raymond," which featured Lesser in a recurring role as the arm-shaking Garvin.

He is survived by his daughter, Michele; son, David; daughter-in-law, Julie; and grandchildren, Jonathan, Kayla, and Mayah.

:rip: Len Lesser

RIP. I liked the Seinfeld episode where he gave Jerry the watch.

I remember him from Raymond. He used to get all excited and cheer whenever Ray showed up. He was funny. Sad that he passed :(

Oh... So sorry to hear this! I loved him as Uncle Leo. He'll be very missed.

:rip: I'd forgotten that he was on ELR. Plus, it goes without saying he was letter perfect as Uncle Leo!!

RIP Len.

Remember him best as Uncle Leo, but last night I watched the Mr. Terrific episode he appeared in. (The Sultan Has Five Wives)

RIP.
