The guy who sentenced the 'Seinfeld' squad to a year behind bars in the series finale -- and who helped turned Willem Dafoe into the Green Goblin -- has died.
Actor Stanley Anderson passed away Sunday just six weeks after being diagnosed with brain cancer, according to a family statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.
Anderson is perhaps best known at Judge Arthur Vandelay, who presided over Jerry Seinfeld and co.'s criminal trial in season 9's final episode, where the gang was thrown in jail for violating the "Good Samaritan Law" in a fake town in Massachusetts.
He also played General Slocum in Sam Raimi's "Spider-Man" -- who told Norman Osborn he was gonna cut his funding if he didn't try his ability enhancing serum on a human subject ... thus forcing Norm to try it on himself and become Spidey's arch nemesis.
Anderson has starred in a number of other movies and shows over the years, including parts in "RoboCop 3," "Armageddon," "Runaway Jury," "NYPD Blue," "The Drew Carey Show," "Law & Order," and many, many others. His acting career dates back to the '50s.
He tended to play men of authority -- doctors, judges, psychiatrists ... the President. Makes sense too ... he had quite the on-camera presence.
Stanley was 78. RIP
Ping
And somehow John McCain lives on.
(or does he?)
That’s a Shame.
Yev Kassem.
Could you spell that?
No! Next question.
NO SOUP FOR YOU!!
He actually passed a few weeks ago.
Fine actor, but a huge Lib. Did voiceover work for Democrat candidates all over the country.
We visited New York a few weeks ago and visited Tom’s Restaurant, the facade of which was the intro shot for the coffee shop scenes. Excellent food. Make the pilgrimage if you’re a Seinfeld nut like me
Yow - that's the first scene I thought of when I saw that "Judge Vadelay" died.
Loved the lunch break scene where Poppy says something like “a little too much salt” and the Soup Nazi yanks his soup away.
What gave it away,George?
From the Seinfeld pilot.
The Waitress.
Has brain cancer and dies in 6 weeks. McCain still lives. Go figure.
He was the father of Drew on the “The Drew Carey Show,”
Marion Ross from “Happy Days” was the mother.
LOL keeper
Wouldn’t you like to make a key?
RIP.
