Einstein’s brother, actor-director Albert Brooks, confirmed his death on Twitter Wednesday.

R.I.P. My dear brother Bob Einstein. A great brother, father and husband. A brilliantly funny man. You will be missed forever.
Einstein started his career as a comedy writer in the 1960s before transitioning into acting. He created his optimistic but hard-luck stuntman character, Super Dave, while writing for The John Byner Comedy Hour in 1972, and went on to play the part in several other comedy-show appearances. He eventually spun the character off into his own show in the late 1980s and early ’90s, and has also played the part on various talk shows since then.
Several cast members of Curb Your Enthusiasm also shared their grief over Einstein’s passing on Twitter Wednesday afternoon.
