RIP.

I am surprised there was no mention of "Arthur" in that article, I think a lot of people associate him with that movie as much as they did as him as Jerry's father

I've seen that guy on something...I can't remember what though.

hmm...was he ever on Full House?

R.I.P. Barney.

Aw what a shame. He was a great character actor.

he was Liza Minelli's dad in the movie Arthur, that and Jerry Seinfeld's dad are probably his best known roles

I think he was on Full House. He did many guest appearances. Golden Girls and Mama's Family are two other ones that he's done.

RIP Barney.

I liked his comment about playing Jerry's dad being the whipped cream at the top of a mountain of ice cream.

So true. Great way to end out your career.

He was also an NYPD detective for about 20 years.
