Philip Baker Hall, the Library Cop Lt. Bookman on ‘Seinfeld,’ Dies at 90
Philip Baker Hall, the journeyman character actor who was a favorite of director Paul Thomas Anderson but surely is best remembered for bringing library investigator Lt. Bookman to life on a 1991 episode of Seinfeld, has died. He was 90.
Holly Wolfle Hall, his wife of nearly 40 years, told the Associated Press that he died Sunday surrounded by loved ones in Glendale. She said Hall had been well until a few weeks earlier and spent his final days reflecting on his life. “His voice at the end was still just as powerful,” she said.
