1. I liked him too.

He may have been the proto-type for Monk.

R.I.P. Tony.

2. He portrayed the first openly gay character in a TV sitcom
Sidney, back in the early 80s. I watched the show but don't remember they made any kind of big deal about his sexual orientation.

Tony was pretty cool, though IMO he shouldn't have fathered two children at such an advanced age. Well, to each his own. RIP, funnyman.

Oh, you're talking about the character. Sorry; my mistake.
