Glass died Friday of respiratory failure, his agent, Jeffrey Leavett, told The Associated Press on Saturday.
"Ron was a private, gentle and caring man," said Leavett, a longtime friend of the actor. "He was an absolute delight to watch on screen. Words cannot adequately express my sorrow."
Glass was a cast member on Barney Miller during the show's entire run. On the show, which was set in a New York Police Department station in Greenwich Village, he played Ron Harris, an intellectual, fashionable detective who also dabbled as an author.

On the 2002 science-fiction series Firefly and its sequel movie, Serenity, Glass played Derrial Book, a shepherd and the frequent giver or spiritual advice.
