R.I.P Steve Landesberg

Steve Landesberg of Barnye Miller fame passed away today at the age of 65 of cancer. I loved him in Barney Miller as Sgt. Arthur Dietrich, a calm intellect of an officer who just drove everybody nuts with his intellect.


From TV Squad: Steve Landesberg, who played dry, intellectual detective Arthur Dietrich on the classic ABC sitcom 'Barney Miller,' has died.Landesberg passed away in Los Angeles after a battle with cancer. He was 65.Aside from his role on 'Barney Miller,' Landesberg was also a veteran stand-up comic and writer. He wrote several episodes of the STARZ series 'Head Case,' and played Dr. Finkelstein on the show.
