Guest Anonymous Posted January 10, 2007 Abe Vigoda is a nobody actor? Are you kidding? Maybe in the U.K. but he's well known in the United States. Anyone ever heard of The Godfather? It happens to be the #1 movie of all time on IMDB. He's not known as a leading actor, more for cameos and character parts but just about anyone over 20 recognizes his face when they see it.

Banshees Scream 110 Posted January 10, 2007 I think that might be a case of mistaken identity. Maybe. TLC. Tables Ladders and Chairs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrunoBrimley 86 Posted January 10, 2007 I( always enjoyed watching Barney MIller. Sure there was the lovable charm and sexy pizzazz of Hal Linden with that moustache and twinkly eyes....er, has anybody heard from Hal lately? He's past 70 now and looking ripe for Corpseville.... And then there was Jack Soo who you knew too....not much more to say of him and he died before the show went off the air, and of course Ron Glass who looked like he had been turned down for a morphine drip... and Max Gail who played the Polish cop. Saw him recently in something......he has not aged well. and of course Abe Vigoda as Fish. A rather morbid sort of character in that show and in other appearances as other characteers elsewhere. It's almost sad to see Abe on the list this year although I do wish him well at being a grand prize winner. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TLC 9 Posted January 10, 2007 I think that might be a case of mistaken identity. Maybe. TLC. Tables Ladders and Chairs. Out of genuine curiosity, do you ever post on the Castro and Niemeyer threads as a guest? Does squid play an important part in your life? And my post still makes more sense than the bit above.

Rotten Ali 600 Posted January 10, 2007 Was this TV programme ever on UK tv? If it was then I don't think I never saw it! I remember WKRP like it was yesterday. As I do with The High Chaperal, but not this Barney Miller thing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Supercone Posted January 22, 2007 Looks like the wrong actor from Barney Miller was on this list. Ron Carey passed yesterday http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/6287037.stm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Scholes Dogg Posted January 25, 2007 Well you know the first I came across him was 87 when Ad Rock shouted "I got a girl in the Castle and one in the pagoda You know I got rhymes like Abe Vigoda" You should've bought that album, it was f*****g brilliant. I'm still not sure how Abe Vigoda has rhymes, nor do I want to know Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Canadian Paul 97 Posted February 24, 2007 Happy 86th Birthday to Mr. Vigoda! Hooray! Was hoping a news article would surface for his birthday, but there's nothing I can see... In related news, my (formerly) unique DDP pick Steven Hill is 85! today! It's an octogenarian celebration! :party" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Banshees Scream 110 Posted February 24, 2007 Almost positive I saw him recently on one of the late night shows while flipping through the channels. I'm not sure if it was Letterman or Leno but he seemed to have his health. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Starch 1 Posted February 24, 2007 Almost positive I saw him recently on one of the late night shows while flipping through the channels. I'm not sure if it was Letterman or Leno but he seemed to have his health. He still does regular cameos on Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Recent appearances (that I've seen) have included the "lighting of the Christmas Vigoda," an appearance where he finished second place in an "Audience Member who Mostly Closely Resembles Abe Vigoda Contest," and a Groundhog Day spoof in which Abe Vigoda's tree stump was wheeled on stage on February 2nd and he was roused from his slumber to prove that he was still alive.

wildstorm 297 Posted September 10, 2014 Seems in good spirits in a recent video (Not sure if link works outside North America) Seems a little clueless, but I'm not sure if it's due to his age or if he's always been that way. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sean 6,314 Posted September 10, 2014 He seems very happy to be there!I think he is just quite deaf as opposed to senile.He is very thin though.I think he should be kept on the list next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
