catesta Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 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. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/abe-vigoda-sunken-eyed-character-actor-dies-at-94/ RIP, Abe.

ejp626 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul secor Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 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.

Matthew Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Shows you where my head is at: I thought this was about the ex-singer of Marillion. Abe was a great actor though, RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
