They continued that he had "lived his life fully - with zest and passion".

An Extensive TV Career

Finn's first television role was on a show starring George Wendt in 1995, where he played the titular character's brother.

He was also seen in a regular part on Murphy Brown between 1995 and 1997.

He starred as the character Joe Mayo in the show Seinfeld in 1998, depicting a host who would assign burdensome jobs to his guests.

A Life in Improv

Away from his television work, Finn was deeply involved in improvisational comedy and worked as a teacher at the University of Colorado, where he was an adjunct professor.

He was involved with a six-member improv team named Beer Shark Mice.

"Finn guided, supported, and advised countless students over the years and you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone anyplace who has an unkind word to say about him," his loved ones expressed.

In a tribute, peer actor Richard Kind remarked there was "nobody more kind, gentle, and humorous, grounded individual you could encounter".

"Consistently upbeat, making those around him better and funnier. A great dad, a great guy," he posted publicly.
