RIP, Fish

[catesta]

Well, this time it looks like it's for real, Abe Vigoda has passed away. A great character on one of my all time favorite TV shows (Barney Miller) and a great supporting actor in one of the all time greatest movies.

RIP, Abe.

Sad, but not terribly shocking.  He was 94 and apparently passed away peacefully, i.e. he wasn't ill.  Nice way to go if you can get it.

RIP

He had a long career, but everyone knows him as Fish. It's like a story Jason Alexander told after he complained to an older actor about being known as George Costanza. The actor told him, that's how it's going to be. When you die, your obituary will read, Jason Alexander, who played George Costanza on Seinfeld has died. Accept it and enjoy it.

RIP and thanks, Mr. Vigoda.

First became acquainted with him as Tessio in The Godfather.

I can never use my Snake Plissken/Abe Vigoda connection in Name Three People again...

Shows you where my head is at: I thought this was about the ex-singer of Marillion.  Abe was a great actor though, RIP
