Sal Tessio in The Godfather

Sorry to see him go. I always found it strange when one the younger cast members from Barney Miller would pass away, and the guy who played a sickly old man in the 1970s was still going strong.

Yes, it's Mick in college. The image has been used in several places, I think the most recent was here:

He was a good actor for sure. Prayers for his family and friends. See the old Barney Miller episodes and loved the show then and still makes me laugh now.

Truth. I saw he died at 94 and thought, he looked 94, 40 years ago!

I liked Fish, He won me 40$ in the office pool.The offseason is hard on competitive people.So yes, we have a slightly morbid pool we do to pass the time at the factory.Don't be mad,just be glad your not one of my top 5 recruits.

Damn, was just joining that thread to post this very quote. But then - he didn't have a whole lot of lines in the movie. Another was:

"It is perfect, it has one of those old fashioned johns with the, the, the, you know, pull chain..."
