What do they have in common?  Both just passed away:

Abe Vigoda always cracked me up on Barney Miller.  Saw him in some other stuff too.  Great actor.

 I can't believe Fish actually died, I assumed he was immortal.

I guess isabevigodadead.com has finally been updated after all of these years

I'd say that 94 years old was a ripe old age to go. I know that I don't care to live that long.

Honestly, I would have guessed that he had died years ago.  I remember him from The Godfather.

He looked like he was 80 on Barney Miller and that was the 80's. The funniest episode is when he had to dress up like a woman to catch rapists in the park, Barney wouldn't let him go out because he made the ugliest looking woman. I always like ol Abe though.

I remember watching 'The Mongolian Stomper' wrestle on television.  It wasn't during his prime but, instead, was back in the late '80s when I guess he made a come back.  I never had the chance to meet him and really don't pay any attention to wrasslin' anymore but have heard more than once, despite his mean, almost savage ring persona that he was actually one of the nicest people in professional wrestling.
