He won a Tony Award in 1971 for starring as Meyer Rothschild in The Rothschilds.

After achieving TV fame on Barney Miller, Linden headlined a few shorter-lived series and guest starred on The Nanny, The Drew Carey Show, Will & Grace, Touched by an Angel, Supernatural, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Early in his career, Linden was part of the unofficial New York City dubbing troupe heard in Spaghetti Westerns, a Godzilla entry, and the French film Z.
