I remember that he did a great job as a part of the incredible ensemble cast of Barney Miller. Such an excellent show...

Rest in peace, Mr. Carey.

Actually Abe was only 13 years old when he was in The Godfather. He was just born looking 65. Either that or he is some kind of day walking vampire.

/odds are 8 to 5 on the vampire deal

Barney Miller may be the least-appreciated TV comedy ever. Great writing, great ensemble cast.

Great theme song, too.

Shame that they never released any of the seasons on DVD aside from the first year...

The pilot episode of Barney Miller aired one summer as a special. I wrote in to ABC, told them it would be a good show. Apparently a lot of people did, as it got on the air. And prior to becoming regular members of the cast, Carey and Steve Landesberg (Sgt Deitrich) each made an appearance on the show. Both played criminals arrested by the members of the 12th Precinct, in seperate episodes.
