[Highway99]

The prolific and terrific character actor was 92.

RIP Young man

 

[Pliny Pete]

He was good as the porn kingpin in Dragnet '87

Wasn’t he in 9 to 5? Speaking of which it’s 5 right now on poets day. Time for a drink.

 

[Highway99]

One of the best line deliveries of all time...

 

[Excelsior]

He was good as the porn kingpin in Dragnet '87

I unapologetically love that movie.

 

[Bob Gray]

I honestly thought he passed away already time ago for some reason. Bummer. He was always quality no matter what he was in.

RIP. Epic actor. He was great in whatever he was in, but I most remember him effectively playing sleazy characters. And I don’t just mean 9 to 5 and Tootsie. Even something as family oriented as The Muppets Take Manattan- hilarious cameo at the beginning as a producer looking to rip them off.

I also get a laugh thinking about Elaine Benes wanting to see the fake film Sack Lunch, starring Coleman, instead of The English Patient.

 

[RollSonnenRoll]

He was funny as Mr. Drysdale in the Beverly Hilbillies movie

 

[StonedLemur]

He was good as the porn kingpin in Dragnet '87

That movie still cracks me up lol.

 

[SSgt Dickweed]

RIP. My first thought is that he was in Hot to Trot.

 

[ObsoleteSoul]

RIP Young man

Gone too soon

 

[StonedLemur]

R.I.P sir, I can't think of a single role you were in that you didn't belong in.


Much love

He was definitely always solid sir.

 

[Plissken]

Consistently great. He could do comedy like in Clifford (and most of his roles) or a great dad role like in Cloak and Dagger. At least Dabney and Roger Corman passed peacefully in their 90's and lead full lives. Rest in peace.

 

[KnightTemplar]

RIP. Condolences to his family.


9 to 5 is a guilty pleasure of mine.

 

[Gene Tunney]

Dabney Coleman had the rare quality of buffoon seriousness.

I am familiar with him specifically, as 9 to 5 was my favorite movie for a time. That movie was produced around the late 70's and early 80's. Peak Dabney Coleman era.

Some of his first tv appearances were on bangers like The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, The Outer Limits, The Fugitive, I Dream of Jeannie.

Midway, On Golden Pond, North Dallas Forty, The Trouble with Girls, Melvin and Howard, WarGames. That is but the tip of the iceberg. There are hidden gems in his filmography.

What a bummer
RIP to him.

I loved Cloak and Dagger when I was a little kid, and 9 to 5 is a classic.

RIP. My first thought is that he was in Hot to Trot.

I was trying to think of the name of that film.
