Actor Dabney Coleman passes away at 92

Dabney Coleman, the Emmy-winning character actor who appeared in more than 60 projects in his six-decade career, died at age 92. He was best known for playing villain roles, and movies like '9 to 5' and 'Tootsie.'

"My father crafted his time here on Earth with a curious mind, a generous heart and a soul on fire with passion, desire and humor that tickled the funny bone of humanity,” Quincy said. He appeared on series like The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, The Fugitive, I Dream of Jeannie, The Donna Reed Show,That Girl, The Flying Nun, Bonanza and The Mod Squad. Entertainment Weekly called him “marvelously dry as zwieback” in the role, though Coleman told Vulture he “wasn’t even familiar with computers” when he did the movie (in which the plot revolves around emails).
