NEW YORK (AP) -- Character Abe Vigoda, whose leathery, sunken-eyed face made him ideal for playing the over-the-hill detective Phil Fish in the 1970s TV series "Barney Miller" and the doomed Mafia soldier in "The Godfather," died Tuesday at age 94.
Vigoda's daughter, Carol Vigoda Fuchs, told The Associated Press that Vigoda died Tuesday morning in his sleep at Fuchs' home in Woodland Park, New Jersey. The cause of death was old age. "This man was never sick," Fuchs said.

At 94 and in his sleep. Good way to go.
Interesting how he looked so much older than his age. He was only 51 when he did The Godfather and 53 when he did Barney Miller!
I think it was People magazine that accidentally referred to him as ‘late’. So he had a picture of him sitting up in a coffin holding the cover on Variety :-)

Too bad they didn’t have cell phones on Barney Miller back in those days, he could sit on the toilet and listen to “Bernice’s” complaints at the same time.

Do you remember how many times Arafat was reported to be dead, right here at F.R.?
So many times that when he actually died, nobody believed it.

I’ll go to Youtube and watch the first one. It’s a movie worth watching again periodically.

There are many movies like that. I just watched “The Shawshank Redemption” again.
