I wasn't dogging on you, Al. Joe Donovan called him "Det. Fish" too. Just think it's hilarious that he was a big component of arguably the greatest movie of all time and he'll be remembered for his role on a goofy TV show.
I'm Al Beaton, aka Big Al, a life-long Detroit sports fan. Being fed up with the lack of quality sports coverage by the MSM, I started "The Wayne Fontes Experience.". 1100+ posts later, it remains to be seen if that was a good idea... (And no, I'm not Eddie Munster, despite what my widow's peak may have you thinking)
Heard that on WWJ myself this morning. Nothing like Jon Donovan wishing Abe Vigoda a happy birthday to put a hop in my step.
ReplyDeleteDude was in the Godfather fer Christsakes and he still has people calling him "Det. Fish". That's the power of TV for you.
Thing is Brian, how many people would get "Happy Birthday Sal Tessio!?" Unfortunately, there would be more than a few that would say, "Huh? Who?"
ReplyDeleteFor better or for worse, Abe's going to be known for all eternity as "Fish." There could be worse things...
What's the status on Fyvush Finkle?
