OT: Abe Vigoda RIP(seriously)
http://www.abevigoda.com/
Character actor Abe Vigoda, whose leathery, sad-eyed face made him ideal for playing the over-the-hill detective Phil Fish in the 1970s TV series "Barney Miller" and the doomed Mafia soldier in "The Godfather," died Tuesday at age 94.http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/wireStory/abe-vigoda-sunken-eyed-ch…

to not show his whacking. Some guys deserved to die on screen (Carlo). Some didn't.
January 26th, 2016 at 4:52 PM ^
and Tessio was always smarter.....RIP

Is a pretty good ride through the marathon of life.
Abe seemed to enjoy probably every moment of it.
January 26th, 2016 at 4:20 PM ^
For old times' sake?
Rest in Peace Mr. Vigoda.

Can't do it, Sally.

You go there and search the archives, I think as recently as a couple weeks ago and the answer was always the same. RIP

Clemenza was played by Richard Castellano in I and Bruno Kirby in II. Both are deceased.
January 26th, 2016 at 5:23 PM ^
was related to Paul Castellano, who was at one time head of the Gambino crime family.
January 26th, 2016 at 5:57 PM ^
I had no idea. Explains why I haven't seen him in anything in oh, about 10 years
January 26th, 2016 at 4:50 PM ^
He was the one who took care of Carlo Rizzi. No one saw them finish Sallie off.

Its a little known fact that before he was a mobster, Clemenza was an unemployed musician seeking work.

I'm pretty sure it was Cicci who killed him

One of the great bass lines in history. I understand time is precious, but I wish more TV shows still had theme songs.
RIP Fish and Tessio.

I'm not embedding this, because I'll fuck it up and break the thread. But for your listening pleasure:

that the first thing Tessio says when they find out the meeting with Sollozzo and Captain McCluskey is at Jack Dempsey's restaurant is "good food." Italians, man. Even if you're only there to whack a guy, the pasta needs to be al dente.
January 26th, 2016 at 5:20 PM ^
It can't be bad food or bad service. Otherwise Sollozzo would have been suspicious.
January 26th, 2016 at 5:35 PM ^
Michael and company weren't even supposed to know where they were going.
January 26th, 2016 at 6:32 PM ^
My bad. I just watched the chonological epic on HBO over the weekend. Should've known.
January 26th, 2016 at 6:44 PM ^
is epic.
January 26th, 2016 at 5:20 PM ^
(and it does). Solazzo picks Michael up in front of Jack Dempsey's. They then go to Louis where Michael whacks both him and McClusky.
January 26th, 2016 at 5:38 PM ^
and that has the good food. According to Tessio. And old-fashioned toilets. That is some freaking memory. Any Italian restaurant in NY, and the guy can give you both a food and men's room review.

January 26th, 2016 at 7:45 PM ^
And everybody minds his business.

Vigoda looked like he was in his 70s when playing Fish, but he was only in his mid 50s.
