'Seinfeld' Actor Daniel Von Bargen Hospitalized After Suicide Attempt - iVillage

Actor Daniel von Bargen is in critical condition after shooting himself in the head in an apparent suicide attempt. The actor, who played George Costanza’s (Jason Alexander) boss Mr. Kruger during the final seasons of Seinfeld, called 911 after he survived a self-inflicted shot to the temple on Monday morning.

“I’ve shot myself in the head but it didn’t work… I need help,” Von Bargen, 61, says in the recorded 911 call, obtained by TMZ.

When asked if the shooting was an accident, Von Bargen told the operator that he did it deliberately to avoid going to the hospital for an amputation procedure.

“They were going to amputate at least a few toes,” said Von Bargen, who reportedly suffers from severe diabetes. “I’ve already had one leg amputated… I’m tired.”
