NEW YORK -- Comedy veteran Jerry Stiller, who launched his career opposite wife Anne Meara in the 1950s and reemerged four decades later as the hysterically high-strung Frank Costanza on the smash television show "Seinfeld," died at 92, his son Ben Stiller announced Monday.

Stiller earned an 1997 Emmy nomination for his indelible "Seinfeld" performance. In a 2005 Esquire interview, Stiller recalled that he was out of work and not the first choice for the role of Frank Costanza, father to Jason Alexander's neurotic George.He was initially told to play the role as a milquetoast husband with an overbearing wife, Estelle, played by Estelle Harris.

He and Ben performed together in "Shoeshine," which was nominated for a 1988 Academy Award in the short subject category.
