Police confirm actor Charles Levin’s body found in Oregon

PORTLAND, Ore. — Police have confirmed that a body found in July in a southern Oregon ravine was that of missing actor Charles Levin, who played numerous roles on television comedies such as “Seinfeld” and “Night Court.”

The Oregonian/OregonLive reported Tuesday that police reports confirmed the body as the 70-year-old actor.

His death was ruled as accidental.

Police were contacted July 8 by Levin’s son Jesse, who reported his father missing. He was last seen June 27.

His car was found July 13, with the remains of his dog, a pug named Boo Boo, inside.

A body was found outside the car and was believed to be Levin’s, but police didn’t confirm the identity until this week.

Levin played a character who performs circumcisions on a “Seinfeld” episode.
