Fans pay respects
Many of the actor’s fans have used social media to express their condolences.
“Philip Baker Hall had one of the funniest scenes ever in the entire run of Seinfeld. Arguably funnier than anything any of the cast members ever did. And it was because of how he sold the scene. Utterly brilliant. Peepees and weewees, joy boy,”One fan shared.
Another fan wrote, “Philip Baker Hall just died.” Seinfeld fans may remember that he was Lieutenant Bookman (the library cop) and was responsible to one of the most important defenses for libraries in history.
“May his memory be a blessing ❤️💔❤️🩹.”
Another person tweeted: “RIP Philip Baker Hall. An incredible actor in so many things, and I’ll always remember him for one of greatest, if not the greatest, sitcom performances of all time as the Library Cop in Seinfeld.”
