I’m not sure why they are calling Lee a “Seinfeld actor.” To my knowledge, he appeared in only one episode, as an indecisive and overly-accommodating cabinet maker/carpenter.
I’m sorry for his passing, but he wasn’t a ‘Seinfeld actor’, he was a character actor who played in one episode of Seinfeld.
Don’t remember him.
Don’t know him and wasn’t a Seinfeld fan, but I wish Mr. Lee peace in the Risen Lord and comfort for his loved ones.
Don’t remember him but, 58?
Way too young...
Wasn’t he in Miami Vice also?
However you want it Jerry.... However you want it.
Apparently he was in War Games also.

(Not sure if that’s an exact quote). :-)
He was a bit part character actor who was somewhat recognizable, but success had eluded him. I remember him in an episode of night court where he played an arrogant diplomat and also in the very first episode of everybody loves raymond as “Leo”, the best friend of raymond. Amazingly he never was brought back for anymore episodes. It was his only appearance in the series.
I’ll bet it bothered him to watch that series take off and become the success it did. And hes the one, the best friend of the title character, who isnt brought back after the first episode. He mustve felt like Pete Best, the beatles first drummer whom they replaced with ringo.
RIP.
Didn’t the carpenter character also build George’s hide-a-way under his desk in the Yankee’s office?
