Best known for his Emmy-nominated title role on the Barney Miller television series, Linden won his Emmys for a series of daytime informational spots called F.Y.I.

Linden began his career as a clarinet player and leader of dance bands. He and his violist brother Bernie, chose their stage names after spotting a gas storage tank with the word "Linden" (as in Linden, New Jersey) written on it in huge letters.
