RIP Abe Vigoda (1921-2016)


We learned that Abe Givoda passed away.   He was 94.

Most of us remember him in "The Godfather" as Tessio and then Detective Fish in "Barney Miller".   He also appeared on "The Godfather II".

He was born Abraham Charles Vigoda in 1921, or when President Harding was in the White House.   He was the son of a tailor and both of his parents were Russian immigrants.

Before playing Tessio in "The Godfather", Mr Givoda played several roles in Broadway and movies.
