The rumors of his death were GREATLY exaggerated!

[PSM]

Actor Abe Vigoda dead at 94.

For the younger dudes, Abe's character, Det. Phil Fish, "died" in the Barney Miller TV show in the '70s. Everyone assumed that the actor had also died and the rumor/belief persisted.

Rest in Peace, finally, Detective Fish.

I've probably seen every episode of Barney Miller. He was pretty cool in The Godfather too.

Rest In Peace, Fish!

Proof that the good do not all die young, RIP Abe.

I loved his character in Barney Miller!

RIP Fish.

He had a better run than Usain Bolt......in outrunning the Grim Reaper.

He was on my death pool list since the 1980's.
