Breaking News! CNN's continued Liberal Fake News has just broken a record in low viewership...how low can CNN go...no wonder shareholders are leaving this sinking ship!!!

That's who I was trying to remember. I believe he and Linda Lavin, who starred in Alice, used to be married. Mr Leibman was one of those supporting actors that would leave a memorable performance. R.I.P. Ron

NO! I loved that man, especially in Law & Order. 😢

Who?

I'll always remember Ron Liebman for his wonderful performance in 'Norma Ray.' He was a dramatic actor who could also do comedy. May he rest in peace.

Rest in peace🙏

He was always terrific on Friends and everything else.

r.i.p., ron!

I ran into him once in CT. RIP.

Esteban from Zorro the Gay Blade

RIP I liked his work. Wasn’t he married to Jessica Walter?

Let's not forget Up The Academy. Seriously, I'm wondering if my family is the only people who liked that movie.

Great talent ... May he Rest In Peace...

RIP Dr. Green

So Sad...

So sad, condolences to his family and friends. 😢

He won an Emmy Award in 1979 for the short lived CBS series ' Kaz'

He is survived by wife Jessica Walter.

The cause of his death was pneumonia.

Aw. You stuck out like a 'turd in a punchbowl' but we loved you, Ron.

Rip

RIP

RIP

Sad. Good actor.

Had no idea how critically acclaimed he was. Or that he was married to “Lucille Bluth.” Holy moly. Condolences to his loved ones.

A sad loss. 🌷

Rip 🙏
