John Pinette was a well-known stand-up comedian that had an equally successful career on television and movies. Known for his whiny, high-pitched delivery, Pinette had recurring roles on the sitcoms "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" (Fox 1990-93) and "Vinnie & Bobby" (Fox 1992), while also landing small parts in films like "Junior" (1994), "Dear God" (1996), and "Simon Sez" (1999). However, it was a minor role as a carjack victim on the series finale of "Seinfeld" (NBC 1989-1998), watched by an estimated 76 million viewers, where Pinette gained the largest audience of his career. A longtime sufferer of liver and heart disease, Pinette died at the age of 50 in 2014 from a pulmonary embolism, leaving behind an enduring comedic legacy that will forever be enshrined in his memorable "Seinfeld" appearance.
