By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

LOS ANGELES, March 24 (AP) - Barney Martin, a former New York City detective who went into show business and became best known for playing Jerry Seinfeld's father, Morty, on the television comedy "Seinfeld," died on Monday at his home here. He was 82.

The cause was cancer, Jennifer Glassman, his publicist, said.

Born on March 3, 1923, in Queens, Mr. Martin was a navigator in the Air Force during World War II before starting a 20-year career as a New York police detective.

He showed a talent for making deputy police commissioners laugh during presentations.
