I remember him from Barney Miller and the Godfather, he was a good actor.

he has been rumored to be dead before, but I think this time it is true. I always liked him - his droppy looking face and his one liners on Barney Miller.

I used to go to a Hungarian restaurant on the upper east side in NYC - a small hole-in-the-wall place, and saw Mr. Vigoda there often.  

 

The waitress had been there for years and years and always waited on him.  She said he was such a funny man and so polite.

 

I never bothered him but he always nodded his head and said hello to me.

 

The Godfather allowed him to display his talent.
