Title: Abe Vigoda, 94, not a hoax this time
Post by: richb on January 26, 2016, 02:04:11 PM
Character actor Abe Vigoda passed away today,  January 26, 2016,  according to his daughter Carol Vigoda Fuchs.   He was best known for playing Det. Fish on Barney Miller which aired back in the 1970's.     There have been many hoaxes of his passing since 1982,  and even he played it off in good humor.

Always remember him best as Tessio in The Godfather. I never watched Barney Miller.

IDP, Barney Miller was good TV.
Quite a cast of eclectic characters

He had a face for deadpan humor.

RIP Abe.
