At the age of 92, legendary actor Jerry Stiller has passed away – remembered by many for his long list of roles in movies, TV shows, and more, but here at EFTM we remember him most as Frank Costanza – father of George – in Seinfeld.
Along with my good mate and fellow Seinfeld fanatic Stephen Fenech from Techguide.com.au – we’ve put together our list of top 13 Frank Costanza moments and episodes.
Fortunately, every single episode of Seinfeld is available to watch on Stan – so, get on it folks.
