Ha!

[Ray McKigney]

Remember watching him on Barney Miller when I was just a kid. Also, as Tessio in the Godfather. RIP.

[mtangelsfan]

I still rank Barney Miller in my top 15 or so sitcoms.

[Amazing Larry]

94 way too young.

[NJHalo]

He was always old

[ELEVEN]

I thought he was older than 94 on Barney Miller?

[Tank]

he always did quality work. such a great deadpan look on his face all the time. loved him on barney miller.

[JAHV76]

RIP he was classic on Barney Miller

[IEAngelsfan]

Ha, I was one of the people who thought he was already dead.  Loved him in Barney Miller.

 

RIP

[Redondo]

RIP Abe

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Fantastic as Tessio and Fish and on Conan O Brien years later.

Sad loss.

Vigoda reminded me of my grandfather, tall and slender. My grandfather is 94 and has little time left. He watches ever Angels game. He and my 90 year old grandmother suffer every season.

[Spirit]

Abe and Betty

Yeah. Tell that to Abe Vigoda. @itransform3 @Misstabstevens "Beautiful things happen when you distance yourself from negativity"

The shock of the passing of Abe Vigoda is like my generation's 9/11. None of us will ever forget where we were this tragic day.

 

 

Doug Stanhope â€@DougStanhope  20h20 hours ago

You make jokes to deal with the pain but the fact is - if it can happen to Abe Vigoda, it can happen to *any* of us.

The untimely death of Abe Vigoda should remind us all life is short & to savor every moment. You never know when your time will come.

Who? Doug Stanhope?

[Ray McKigney]

Michael had everybody whacked. He was a real dickhead. Poor Fredo.

[JAHV76]

Fredo deserved it he went against the family

[Inside Pitch]

he always did quality work. such a great deadpan look on his face all the time. loved him on barney miller.

 

Ill have to see if I can't have my mom send me a pic of my Grandfather - but, he was a dead ringer for the younger (Godfather era), Abe Vigoda, and it was pretty funny...  

 

My grandparents first moved to Ca during the height of Barney Miller's popularity.. they settled in LA initially and he would constantly be stopped on the street and asked for an autograph.  Anyway -- long story short, he called my parents once shortly after they had moved and told them how he was constantly being stopped by "Americanos" calling him a "pescado" (Spanish for fish), and wanting him to sign his name..   Which he did -- his own name...   mostly cause he thought they were possibly crazy and mistaking a human for a...  fish..

 

I'm told he laughed uncontrollably when they told him Fish was Abe Vigoda's character on TV.

[Tank]

LOL, what a great story, IP.

 

 

i saw a couple of pictures of abe vigoda on barney miller this week. that show was 40 years ago, and he already looked in his 80s then. i'm not sure he ever looked young.

[Ray McKigney]

Fredo deserved it he went against the family

 

Fredo didn't know any better. He was stupid and weak.
