(FoxNews) – According to Cincinnati TV station WLWT, Daniel von
Bargen, a character actor who played George’s apathetic boss on
"Seinfeld" among numerous other roles, has died. Von Bargen died

A Cincinnati, Ohio, native, von Bargen appeared in dozens of TV
shows and movies over a decades-long career, including the
memorable role of Commandant Edwin Spangler on TV’s "Malcolm
In The Middle," but he is perhaps best known as Mr. Kruger, George
