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. He also had a regular role on 'Paul Sand in Friends and Lovers' and made appearances on 'The Golden Girls,' 'Ghost Whisperer,' 'That '70s Show,' 'American Dad,' 'Harvey Birdman, Attorney-At-Law,' 'Law & Order,' The Rockford Files' and many others. http://www.tvsquad.com/2010/12/21/barney-miller-star-steve-landesberg-dead-at-65/?icid=main%7Chp-desktop%7Cdl2%7Csec3_lnk1%7C191273
I believe he also had a career as a stand up comic as well.
So, R.I.P, Steve and thanks for the memories.
