I haven't heard that name in AGES.
Great actor, very underappreciated. RIP.

So good at playing the unlikeable characters. Not evil types. Just sexist, egotistical, lying…. Types.
They seem to play that a lot on TCM on Friday nights. I watched it about a month ago, and it was on a week or two ago. It’s absolutely brilliant.
One of his best roles was in a terrible movie called Hot to Trot. John Candy provided the voice for a talking horse. It was a disaster, but Coleman must have had a ball shooting it.
One of my all-time favorite movies as a kid.
I bet acting creepy around 1980’s Dolly Parton was easy. You wouldn’t even to pay me for that. Dudes overrated. I’d even grow that mustache he was rocking just to be in the same room with those titties.
Enjoyed him in Short Time. Played a Cop a day or so before retirement. That learns he has a terminal illness with a few days to live. So spends the rest of the movie trying to get himself killed in the Lin of duty. Because it leaves his son with a huge inheritance. It’s a comedy btw.
He was at the top of his game in the little-watched Buffalo Bill tv series. Co-starred Geena Davis, pre-Designing Women Meshach Taylor, pre–Night Court Charlie Robinson. Sadly, not enough people tuned in.
The poor man's Gene Hackman. When my dad was in grad school, he shared an apartment with Dabney Coleman (and I think one or two others). CSB.
