Fans pay respects
Many fans of the late actor have taken to social media to pay their respects.
“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.
A second fan wrote: “Philip Baker Hall just passed away. For Seinfeld fans, he was Lieutenant Bookman, the library cop, and was responsible for one of the great defenses of libraries in history: ‘Maybe we can live without libraries, people like you and me.’
“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.”
