Tropes associated with Kenneth Tigar:

  • Irony As He Is Cast: Despite being Jewish, he has repeatedly played Nazis, including both The Man in the High Castle and Hunters. His background in the German language may have helped with this.
  • Maybe Magic, Maybe Mundane: He appeared in six episodes of Barney Miller, and in all but one his character was of this trope. Once Tigar's character claimed to be a werewolf, once he was Jesus, once there was a poltergeist in his apartment, once he was a psychic, and once he was possessed by the Devil. Each time, the detectives assume that he's a loon, only to start wondering if it's true.
