Chicago actor Larry Neumann Jr. is dead at 62. His off-Loop roles were legion and he had many stories to tell.

Larry Neumann Jr., a gruff, gritty Chicago actor widely regarded as quintessential, died Wednesday at the age of 62. His death was announced by his former wife of 18 years, Sandy Borglum.

“Larry was the hardest working man I ever knew,” Borglum said in an interview, speaking of her love for her former husband and his furious affection for his entire family. “He was lucky in that he always was able to live his life on his own terms.” In later years, he took on a well-deserved paternalistic role with younger actors, often signing himself off as “Uncle Lar.” He was a fixture at post-show bar gatherings, pre-pandemic at least, sharing his many war stories from the off-Loop theater.

By 1988, he was playing Iago in the Chicago Shakespeare Company production of “Othello,” opposite Shira Piven’s Desdemona.
