hhttdid not seem got angry
hhttdid not seem become angry
Neither of those constructions is correct English. ... did not seem to get angry' and ...'did not seem to become angry' are correct, but do not mean exactly the same as the original, Neither is passive, so cannot be followed by a 'by + agent' phrase.
