Philip's wife, Holly Wolfle Hall, confirmed that the Seinfeld and Magnolia actor died Sunday evening surrounded by loved ones, according to the Associated Press.

“His voice at the end was still just as powerful,” Holly said.

Philip's death was first announced in a tweet by his friend and neighbor Sam Farmer on Monday.

Farmer wrote: “My neighbor, friend, and one of the wisest, most talented and kindest people I’ve ever met, Philip Baker Hall, died peacefully last night.

"He was surrounded by loved ones. The world has an empty space in it.”

Philip's cause of death has not yet been confirmed.

Great actor

That monologue he laid on Jerry was one of the first really great things they did and I don't think anyone ever got the floor like that again. Complete with Seinfeld standing there admiring the performance. Perfect. Dude had a gift.

Rewatched him in Hard Eight on @dookeyXXX recommendation

Superb

Just watched that bit again like five times, I'm in tears. So classic. RIP to the man.

Lieutenant Bookman.

20 years on the job in the New York Public Library. I bet he turned down the promotion to Captain three times so he could keep working cases. Protecting that kid. Dedication.
