SELMA, Oregon—Remains found in a remote area of Oregon are believed to be of missing actor Charles Levin, who played numerous roles on television comedies such as “Seinfeld” and “Night Court.”
Levin, 70, was reported missing from Grants Pass last Monday, July 8, by his son after he hadn’t heard from his father for several days, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported.
Levin was in the process of moving when he went missing last Monday, Levin’s son in Los Angeles then notified authorities of his disappearance, KTVL reported.
Authorities searched for Levin for the past week, police in Grants Pass searched south of Selma, authorities reported.
