Happy Birthday Abe Vigoda

88 years old today

I'll bet he looks every bit as young as he did when he was on "Barney Miller". He is quite busy ( three projects in pre-production) Happy Day Abe !!

It's suprising that someone who dissed the Godfather could reach that age. A testimony ot the tenacity of life.

Tessio: [realizing that Michael knows he was the traitor] Tom, can you get me off the hook? For old times' sake?

Tom Hagen: [shakes his head] Can't do it, Sally.

I still remember the Barney Miller episode where someone brings in some pot brownies, that was a good one.

Someone said that Barney Miller was probably the most realistic police detective show ever made, since they spend most of their time sitting around the station doing paper work.

Abe rocks and so does Barney Miller.

He also did a voice in Batman: Mask of the Phantasm.

Is he enjoying his newfound freedom after Conan just released him into the wild?

I got a girl in the Castle and one in the pagoda You know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda

Often mistake for dead:
