His most famous big-screen role would be in <em>The Godfather<\/em> (1972), as\u00a0Salvatore Tessio. Other notable films in which Mr Vigoda appeared include <em>Cannonball Run II<\/em> (1984),<em> Look Who&#8217;s Talking<\/em> (1989), <em>Joe Versus The Volcano<\/em> (1990), <em>North<\/em> (1994), and <em>Underworld<\/em> (1996).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">On television, Mr Vigoda had a recurring role in the sitcom <em>Barney Miller<\/em>, which ran between 1975 and 1982, in which the actor portrayed weary, crotchety Sgt Phil Fish opposite Hal Linden&#8217;s Barney Miller. A short-lived spin-off series, <em>Fish<\/em>, in which Vigoda played the lead opposite <em>Diff&#8217;rent Strokes<\/em> star Todd Bridges, was cancelled after only 2 seasons, reputedly due to Mr Vigoda&#8217;s pay demands. Among his guest appearances in other shows, Mr Vigoda appeared in <em>Hawaii Five-0, The Bionic Woman, MacGuyver<\/em> and <em>Law &amp; Order<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Abe Vigoda passed away on January 26th, aged 94.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_41196\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-41196\" style=\"width: 689px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-41196\" src=\"http:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Salvatore_Tessio.jpg\" alt=\"Abe Vigoda in The Godfather\" width=\"689\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Salvatore_Tessio.jpg 689w, https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/Salvatore_Tessio-300x174.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 689px) 100vw, 689px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-41196\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Abe Vigoda in The Godfather<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>American film and television actor Abe Vigoda has passed away.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":48482,"featured_media":41195,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[213],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41194","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-obituary"],"featured_image_urls":{"full":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",620,373,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500-300x180.jpg",300,180,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",620,373,false],"large":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",620,373,false],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",620,373,false],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",620,373,false],"covernews-featured":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",620,373,false],"covernews-medium":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",540,325,false],"profile_24":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",24,14,false],"profile_48":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",48,29,false],"profile_96":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",96,58,false],"profile_150":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",150,90,false],"profile_300":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",300,180,false],"sow-carousel-default":["https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/3500.jpg",272,164,false]},"author_info":{"display_name":"Rodney Twelftree","author_link":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/author\/rodney\/"},"category_info":"<a href=\"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/category\/film-general\/obituary\/\" rel=\"category tag\">Obituary<\/a>","tag_info":"Obituary","comment_count":"0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41194","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/48482"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41194"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41194\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41195"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41194"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41194"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.fernbyfilms.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41194"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
