Abe Vigoda
Actor -- via the L.A. Times. Best known as Tessio in "The Godfather" and as Fish n the TV sitcom "Barney Miller." He was the subject of numerous false death accounts over the years, but he was a good sport about the whole thing. He played old before he actually was, and was adept at drama and comedy.
