Rest In Peace, Ron Glass 1945 - 2016


Ron Glass, best known for his role as Detective Ron Harris in the television classic Barney Miller, has passed away at age 71.

 

Ron would begin his Hollywood career in television, guest starring in shows such as Sanford and Son and Hawaii Five-O. His big break would come in 1975 when he was cast in Barney Miller, playing the fussy and impeccably dressed Detective Ron Harris. Mr. Glass would remain in show business, taking guest starring roles in television and providing his voice for animated series. His last televised role was in CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and he chose to semi-retire afterwards. His death follows that of co-star Abe Vigoda, who passed away earlier this year.
