  Abe Vigoda - Biography - Moviefone
Slouch-shouldered, basset-faced character actor Abe Vigoda was the son of a Lower East Side tailor.
Bedeviled with legal problems during the early 1980s, Vigoda nonetheless was able to keep busy as a supporting actor in films (Joe vs. the Volcano, Look Who's Talking) and television; he also periodically returned to the stage, frequently in the Boris Karloff role in Arsenic and Old Lace.
Abe Vigoda's 1990s projects have included such roles as Gus Molino in Harlem (1993) and Alaskan Grandpa in North (1994), a voice over stint in the 1994 animated feature Batman: Mask of the Phantom, and a recurring role in the 1991 weekly-TV revival of Dark Shadows.

 Abe Vigoda - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abe Vigoda, born Abraham Charles Vigoda on February 24, 1921, in New York City, is an American movie and television actor.
Vigoda gained fame through his supporting character roles, notably as mobster Sal Tessio in the 1972 movie The Godfather.
This rumor was nearly started again in 1987 when a reporter for Secaucus, New Jersey television station WWOR, Channel 9 erroneously referred to him as "the late Abe Vigoda." She corrected herself on the air the next day.

Vigoda served as straight man for Jimmy Durante and Ed Wynn on TV's "All Star Revue" in the early 1950s, but for many years was busiest on the stage, both in New York and on tour.
Vigoda even got his own spin-off series, "Fish" (1977-78), in which his retired police detective had to cope with an unruly group of problem schoolchildren.
Vigoda, always looking older than his years, has subsequently kept busy in a wide range of features including "The Cheap Detective" (1978), "Look Who's Talking" (1989, as John Travolta's 100 year-old grandfather), and "Sugar Hill" (1994).

 Abe Vigoda, still kickin' in FireFox 1.5
At the time Abe looked, to me at least, to be in his 70s, but was in fact about 20 years younger.
As with that other funny guy, Mark Twain, the reports of Vigoda's death were greatly exaggerated, and Abe even posed in a coffin reading a copy of that issue of People.

 Biography for Abe Vigoda   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
Vigoda was the son of a Lower East Side tailor.
Vigoda also appeared in a few non-descript TV films before landing the plum role of Sgt. Phil Fish on the brilliant sitcom "Barney Miller"; (1975).
With his long face and unusual looks, Vigoda remained in high demand in mafioso type roles, and for a while in the mid 1980s, he was mistakenly believed to have been dead, leading producers to remark "I need an Abe Vigoda type actor";, not realising Vigoda was still alive and well.

It all started in 1982 when People magazine reported that actor Abe Vigoda had died.
He may have played an aging police officer named Fish on the 1970s sitcom Barney Miller, but 23 years later, the 84-year-old Vigoda remains very much alive, affirming that a human life can be resilient and hearty.
And ever since 1982, "his erroneous death has remained a running joke for Vigoda." Carrying the joke into the 21st century, he's even lived to see his longevitity being celebrated on the internet.
