Hal Linden (born "Harold Lipshitz" March 20, 1931) is an American actor and television director, best known for his portrayal of the title character in the television series " Barney Miller" (1975-1982). More recently he has appeared in movies. He began his career as a saxophone player and leader of dance bands.

Linden chose his stage name after spotting a gas storage tank with the word "Linden" (as in Linden, New Jersey) written on it in huge letters - "large enough for a big star".

Linden is currently the national spokesperson for the Jewish National Fund.
