Barney Miller Cast Deaths: All Actors Who Have Passed Away In Real Life

Barney Miller wasn’t your average cop show - it was a career-making sitcom for its cast, many of whom have since passed away with an impressive legacy behind them. Airing on ABC from 1975 to 1982, the beloved sitcom followed the daily grind of detectives at a New York City precinct, where quirky personalities, dry wit, and slice-of-life scenarios took center stage over car chases or high-octane action. Anchored by Hal Linden as the unflappable Captain Barney Miller, the series earned praise for its thoughtful humor, progressive themes, and a cast of unforgettable characters. Whether it was the book-loving Harris, the gruff Fish, or the deadpan Yemana, every detective had a distinct voice that helped the show remain a cult favorite decades after it wrapped.
