What does Hal Linden have to say?...
Yes, Blarny Miller and Barney Fife speak. I liked the characters they both played in “Those Were The Days” and “The Godfather/Raging Bull” but they’ve had their days and now it’s off to the old-aged home for mentally deranged actors/producers.
Hal Linden and the late Don Knotts (a WW 2 veteran), didn’t go off their rockers over politics. That is worth a shout-out by itself.
