Erwin received an Emmy nomination for his performance as the cantankerous Sid Fields in "The Old Man" episode. In the show, Jerry Seinfeld volunteers to spend time with Fields through the Foster-a-Grandpa Program, but things don't quite go as planned. Like when Fields bites Kramer on the arm.
Erwin is also well remembered for his role as Arthur the bellman in the 1980 fantasy film "Somewhere in Time." His television credits include roles on "The Twilight Zone," "The Andy Griffith Show," "Gunsmoke," "ER," "The Golden Girls" and "Stark Trek: The Next Generation," among many others.
Here is a clip from Erwin's performance as Sid Fields on "Seinfeld."
And a later appearance as Whitey in a 2004 episode of "The King of Queens."
