"He never met a stranger - solely future friends he didn't know yet," his family shared in a message.

They continued that he had "lived his life fully - with joy and exuberance".

A Prolific TV Career

Finn's first television role was on the George Wendt Show in 1995, where he portrayed the titular character's brother.

He was also seen in a recurring role on "Murphy Brown" in the latter half of the 1990s.

He appeared as Joe Mayo in "Seinfeld" in the late 90s, portraying a social organizer famous for delegating tedious tasks to his guests.

A Life in Improv

Outside of his television work, Finn was an improv performer and served as an educator at the University of Colorado, where he was an adjunct professor.

He was part of a comedy group of six known as "Beer Shark Mice".

"Finn coached, befriended and mentored many learners during his career and it would be difficult to find a person who has anything negative to say about him," his family wrote.

In a tribute, colleague and actor Richard Kind noted there was "no kinder, gentler, funnier, authentic human being you could encounter".

"Perpetually optimistic, making those around him better and funnier. An excellent dad and person," he posted publicly.
