The Godfather and Barney Miller Star Abe Vigoda Dies


The Godfather star Abe Vigoda has died in a hospice at the age of 94.

The acclaimed actor was best known for playing Detective Phil Fish for eight years in the popular 80s sitcom Barney Miller. Although film fans may find him more recognisable from his role in The Godfather and The Godfather Part II.


He also voiced the character again as recently as 2007 for a series of Godfather video games. He also worked up until 2014, when he appeared in the movie Sweet Destiny with Lou Martini Jr.


Vigoda’s death has been falsely reported on numerous occasions in the past, with the hoaxes cleverly written into Barney Miller episodes at one point.


Abe leaves behind a daughter Carol Vigoda Fuchs.
