Ron Glass, the handsome, prolific character actor best known for his role as the gregarious, sometimes sardonic detective Ron Harris in the long-running cop comedy "Barney Miller," has died at age 71.

Glass died Friday of respiratory failure, his agent, Jeffrey Leavett, told The Associated Press on Saturday.

He was also in one of my favorite episodes of Sanford and Son, "The Card Sharps" with one of the best names ever "Hucklebuck"

He was also in Firefly, one of my favorite short-lived shows.

Sad time for fans of 70's sitcoms.

Yes, I heard this earlier. I loved him. What a sad thing to happen, when so much of your childhood "tv" life that you grew up on, and was supposed to last forever, dies so close together. RIP Mr. Glass. Love to your family and friends, sir.

Wrong guy!

I remember thinking, "cool, man, cool"... he was cool.

RIP

Hard to believe. It seems like yesterday he was acting on Barney Miller. It really hurts to see all the good guys from the 70's passing away.
