The Uncle Leo character on Seinfeld always reminded me of my own quirky relatives. So sad to hear that the brilliant actor who played him is gone.

It takes a pretty spectacular character actor to make a catchphrase out of a word as banal as "Hello," but Len Lesser may be more closely linked to the greeting than anyone since Lionel Richie. Lesser � who uttered his famous "Hello!" dozens of times as Jerry's Uncle Leo on the long-running sitcom "Seinfeld" � died of cancer-related pneumonia at the age of 88; he is survived by two children. |
