SELMA, Ore. (AP) – The remains found in a remote area of ​​southern Oregon would be the missing actor Charles Levin, who has played many roles in television comedies such as "Seinfeld" and "Night Short".

Levin, 70, was reported missing from the Grants Pass on July 8 by his son, who had not heard from his father for days, reported The Oregonian / OregonLive.

He owned a 2012 orange Fiat and was "almost always in the company of his tawny pug dog, Boo Boo Bear," Grants Pass public safety said in a press release issued last week to find out where Levin thought.
