    Actor that was in 2 of the best tv shows of all time. Firefly and Barney Miller. A gem of American television. hide show

    A great supporting actor. Played role as Det Harris and Shepherd Book which shows his range. When you look at great teams they have alot of the same players. This is why their so good. Ron glass has made his mark not once but twice. Probably the best show of 2000 decade Firefly and Barney Miller other than Rockford files the best show of the 1970s. A great performer with style, flair, and quiet presence. I would like that he didn't get killed in the movie Serenity. But scifi everyone can be brought back.
