FILE - Actor Dabney Coleman , who stars in NBC's"Sooner or Later, appears in Los Angeles on Nov. 14, 1988. Coleman, the mustachioed character actor who specialized in smarmy villains like the chauvinist boss in"9 to 5" and the nasty TV director in"Tootsie," died Thursday, May 16, 2024, his daughter, Quincy Coleman , told The Hollywood Reporter. He was 92. No other details were immediately available.
A six-footer with an ample black mustache, Coleman went on to make his mark in numerous popular films, including as a stressed out computer scientist in “War Games,” Tom Hanks' father in “You’ve Got Mail” and a fire fighting official in “The Towering Inferno.” In 1981, he was Fonda's caring, well-mannered boyfriend, who asks her father if he can sleep with her during a visit to her parents' vacation home in"On Golden Pond."
"Buffalo Bill" was a good example. It starred Coleman as"Buffalo Bill" Bittinger, the smarmy, arrogant, dimwitted daytime talk show host who, unhappy at being relegated to the small-time market of Buffalo, New York, takes it out on everyone around him. Although smartly written and featuring a fine ensemble cast, it lasted only two seasons.
He fared better in a co-starring role in"The Guardian" , which had him playing the father of a crooked lawyer. And he enjoyed the voice role as Principal Prickly on the Disney animated series"Recess" from 1997-2003.
