The entertainment industry is once again dressed in mourning with the announcement of the death of American actor Peter Crombie. Crombie, who is best known for his iconic role as “Crazy Joe Davola” on Seinfeld, passed away at the age of 71 after battling a rare disease.
The news of Crombie’s passing was shared by his ex-wife, writer and tarot reader Nadine Kijner, who took to social media to express her shock and sadness, and to remember her former husband. Crombie’s cause of death has not been disclosed, as he had been away from the spotlight for several years.
Born on June 26, 1952, Crombie began his acting career in the 1980s, known for his cold and rough appearance, which often led to him playing antagonistic and dark characters. Throughout his career, he appeared in at least 35 formal productions, including “House of Frankenstein”, “NYPD Blue”, “Walker, Texas Ranger”, “Diagnosis Murder”, “Law & Order”, “Perfect Strangers”, and of course, “Seinfeld”.
Aside from his acting work, Crombie also worked as a scriptwriter before leaving the entertainment industry in the early 2000s. The news of his passing has left many in the industry and his fans in mourning, as they remember him for his kind and generous soul.
