James Rebhorn, a character actor who appeared in dozens of popular movies and television shows and recently starred on the Showtime hit 'Homeland,' died on Friday at his home in South Orange, N.J. He was 65.
The cause was melanoma, his agent, Dianne Busch, said.
Mr. Rebhorn had memorable roles in many films, including 'Meet the Parents' and 'Independence Day.' On 'Homeland,' he played Frank Mathison, the father of Carrie Mathison, the C.I.A. officer played by Claire Danes.
Tall and slim with a ring of white hair around the back of his head, he worked constantly, switching back and forth between film, television and theater. He memorably played the district attorney in the series finale of 'Seinfeld' and starred in the 2012 film 'Sleepwalk With Me.'
Mr. Rebhorn was active in the Roundabout Theater Company in New York and appeared on Broadway in 'Twelve Angry Men' and 'Our Town,' among other plays. He also had recent recurring roles on cable television in USA's 'White Collar' and in HBO's 'Enlightened.'
