Rebhorn's wife Rebecca tells us the actor was diagnosed with melanoma in 1992 ... and he's been getting treatments ever since.
We're told his condition drastically worsened recently and he began receiving hospice care at his New Jersey home.
Rebhorn has been acting for 5 decades ... he was awesome as Claire Danes' perpetually worried Dad in "Homeland."
He also appeared in "Meet the Parents," "Scent of a Woman," and "Independence Day." He was also the lawyer who put Jerry, George, Kramer and Elaine behind bars in the "Seinfeld" series finale.
His wife Rebecca says James insisted on working despite his condition ... right through his theater performance in January.
He was 65.
Just read the other day they found cancer on a 3,000 year old skeleton. That is how long we suffered from this crazy disease.
To his family and friends, much sympathy.
RIP and thanks for the memories. My condolences to his family, friends and fans.

I read about that skeleton too PIC. It is not a modern disease after all.
ReplyDeleteMelanoma is the worst cancer to die from. That's what Murphy died of.
