Veteran American actor Pat Finn, best known for his roles in hit sitcoms including The Middle, Friends and Seinfeld, has died at the age of 60 after a prolonged battle with cancer. According to TMZ and family sources, Finn passed away on December 22, 2025, at his home in Los Angeles, surrounded by his wife and children. His passing was confirmed on December 24 by multiple news outlets reporting on the entertainer’s death.
Finn’s career spanned several decades and featured memorable television appearances. He was widely recognised for his portrayal of Bill Norwood on the long-running ABC sitcom The Middle from 2011 to 2018, and also appeared in roles on shows such as The George Wendt Show, Murphy Brown, Seinfeld and as Dr. Roger on Friends.
