American comedian, writer and actor Bob Einstein has died aged 76.
Mr Einstein, who played Marty Funkhouser on Curb Your Enthusiasm alongside Larry David from 2004 to 2017, died of cancer on Wednesday.
Mr David said: "“It was an amazing, unforgettable experience knowing and working with him. There was no one like him, as he told us again and again. We’re all in a state of shock.”
Mr Einstein was born in Los Angeles to a Jewish family in 1942, the grandson of eastern European immigrants. His brother Albert Brooks is also a noted actor and writer who called his late brother "a great brother, father and husband. A brilliantly funny man".
