    Sad, but good work by the dude on the phone, he really made a great job.
    Gotta appreciate these guys.
    And all the best to Daniel

    Fostate,

    I know you are just repeating what the article said - but I think it is a "stretch" to call Daniel von Bargen a "star" of Seinfeld. He played a great character but it wasn't a main character - a recurring one. If he was a star of Seinfeld so then was the guy that played Peterman and the one that played Bania, and the one that played Mickey, etc. I know I am quibbling but when I first read the headline, I thought that it was someone like Jason Alexander, Michael Richards, or Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

    At any rate, I hope that von Bargen makes a recovery and can get some help for his problems. He is a great actor.

    You watched that? Blah!

    That's sad man, I was in line for a 911 dispatcher job in Vegas last year but the process took forever. Anyway, we had to hear tape of some actual phone calls and one had a suicide attempt on it, very graphic. You actually heard the guy moaning as he died as he shot himself.

    Needless to say some of us came out of that pretty deer-eyed.

    Hope he makes it out alright.

    Sad situation ... almost as sad is that he's now living in apartment complex in Cincinnati.

    Again,
    Makes me wonder how much money these folx really make.
    What are their expectations?
    Makes me sad. No one should be so down.

    You have to get the context, he has severe diabetes and they would've amputated parts of his body. Some people can't deal with that **** and don't want to live.

    Man, I shouldn't have listened, that was kinda depressing. 911 Operator was very good and professional.

    Not sure what money has to do with it considering his failing health and private life.

    No idea who this guy is... I think I might have seen his face somewhere.. not sure.

    I thought this article was going to be about Kramer.
