Actor Pat Finn, known for roles on Friends, Seinfeld, and other popular sitcoms, has died at age 60 after a battle with cancer, his family confirmed. Finn passed away on Monday, December 22, at around 10:30 p.m.
A family representative shared that Finn was first diagnosed with bladder cancer in 2022, went into remission, but later saw the disease return and metastasize. He was remembered as a fighter with an enduring sense of humor and deep love for his family and favorite sports teams.
In a statement, Finn’s family described him as a loving husband, father, and friend whose life was filled with laughter. They added that even in his final days, he celebrated Chicago Bears touchdowns, jokingly urging the team to “do it for Pat.”
Born in Evanston, Illinois, in 1965, Finn attended Marquette University, where he became close friends with the late Chris Farley. He later joined Second City and went on to build a long TV career, appearing on The Drew Carey Show, That ’70s Show, Murphy Brown, Curb Your Enthusiasm, and The Goldbergs. He played Dr. Roger on Friends and Joe Mayo on Seinfeld, and appeared in films such as It’s Complicated and Dude, Where’s My Car.
Finn is survived by his wife of more than 30 years, Donna, and their three children, Cassidy, Caitlin, and Ryan. His daughter Cassidy shared a heartfelt tribute, calling him her role model and praising his kindness, humor, and the lasting impact he had on everyone he met.
Rest in peace, Pat Finn.
