About twenty years ago I used to work with a guy who tried to claim he was Ross on You Can't Do That on Television.
Here is a guy that was in just about everything from the 60's to the 21st century. Dude was on the original The Outer Limits. He appeared on I Dream of Jeannie, on The Mary Tyler Moore Show, Bad Ronald, a Muppet movie, and so many other things from throughout my life. I don't know why I was so quick to dismiss the YCDTOTV claims because he had a recurring role on Recess. He had a special talent for playing, what I like to call, "charming sleazeballs". He will absolutely be missed.

Always enjoyed his performances, he managed to play the most delightful jerks that you wanted to see get their comeuppance. He mastered that in "9 to 5". And I can't imagine none else who could have been Mr. Drysdale better than him.
Also a big fan of him in "Cloak & Dagger", it was nice seeing him be a hero.
Rest in peace, sir.

The writing certainly helped, but Coleman gave some real depth to Principal Prickly on Recess and allowed the character some real goofy likability.
RIP to a very talented and wide-ranging performer.

He was in the best car chase scene in movie history in Short Time. I will hear no arguments.

There's no curses, but it's an eerie coincidence so many Chiller Theatre alumni have left us this week. In fact, Dabney was to be at the latest Expo for them, like 2-3 weeks ago. Guess we know why he had to cancel....
It Was A Thing On TV is gonna be bummed out too, I'm sure...

I think I first saw him in Young Doctors In Love and then Buffalo Bill- was glad to hear he wasn't anything like those characters, but man did he remind me of people I've met in life.
R.I.P.
