This week’s Insider Deals are so good you’ll want all of themFILE - 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.” Opposite Dustin Hoffman in"Tootsie," he was the obnoxious director of a daytime soap opera that Hoffman's character joins by pretending to be a woman. Among Coleman's other films were"North Dallas Forty,""Cloak and Dagger,""Dragnet,""Meet the Applegates,""Inspector Gadget" and"Stuart Little." He reunited with Hoffman as a land developer in Brad Silberling's"Moonlight Mile" with Jake Gyllenhaal.
Other failed attempts to find a mass TV audience included"Apple Pie,""Drexell’s Class" and"Madman of the People," another newspaper show in which he clashed this time with his younger boss, who was also his daughter.
