Wojo’s on a soap??!!

[S&W Fan]

I always enjoyed Wojo from Barney Miller, Max Gail is a good actor-I didn’t realize until about 30 minutes ago he’s on a soap opera! Was channel surfing today and there he was.

A great cast in general on Barney Miller and I know it’s the favorite cop show for many.

I was watching a few days ago and noticed Barney and one of the
other guys were wearing Bianchi 5B holsters. Or something very
similar.

They play 2 in a row every night at 10:00. I love it. I think Barney and Wojo are the only living primary cast members. Harris and Dietrich are my favorites. Levitt is great and the prince of passive/aggressiveness that is hilarious. Max Gail was also in the recent Sam Elliott movie The Hero.

Max has turned out to be a great character actor. I've seen him on numerous shows as different characters and he has always done a great job. I think his days on the soap are numbered and looks like he'll be written out soon.

I understand that he has passed away (from my wife).

I understand that he has passed away (from my wife).

According to Wikipedia and the internet he’s still alive

Good to Max still around, caught him on an NCIS a while back.
I liked the PR dick Chano (?) for the first season or two. He stayed busy for a while.

I liked all the characters, Det. Yemana (Jack Soo) was my favourite.

Barney Miller was the most realistic cop show on TV. When we started our careers, we identified with Wojo. By the time we started to retire, we identified with Fish.

That show rates near the top for me also. Dry humor.

I don't remember what show I was watching the other night but recognized wojo was an actor on it. I was surprised as I had never seen him acting on anything other than Barney Miller.

Ron Glass/Harris died at 71 yrs old, Steve Landesberg/Dietrich died age 74, Jack Soo/Yemana died 62 yrs old, Frank Luger died age 91, Levitt died at 72, Fish/Abe Vigoda died at age 94.

I still like watching the reruns.

I remember Max beating up Don Draper in "Mad Men".

Jack Soo died while the show was still in production. The tribute they did soon afterward was touching and deserved.
