RIP, Dabney Coleman

Dabney Coleman 1932-2024

We were saddened to hear that one of our favorite actor’s Dabney Coleman has passed away at age 92. He has been a favorite actor of ours since childhood. His career spanning over 50 years he appeared in everything from “9 to 5” as the slimy Frank Hart, to the bumbling head of NORAD in “Wargames”, to one of his greatest parts in the medical comedy “Young Doctors in Love” with Michael McKean, Sean Young, Hector Elizondo, and many other greats. Not long ago we watched the documentary “Not Such a Bad Guy” about Mister Coleman’s career. Dabney was charming, funny and kind throughout the film. 

We strongly recommend the film’s “Short Time” and “Young Doctors in Love” as examples of some of his finest acting work! Seeing him opposite Barry Corbin, Matt Frewer and Michael McKean is a real treat! 

Godspeed Dabney! Your work lives on!

P.S. Michael McKean, Dabney’s co star from “Young Doctor’s In Love”, posted this nice tribute to him. Mister McKean like Dabney is also one of a kind and this is a fitting tribute to a good man:

Dabney's gone and I'm very sad about that. One of a kind, baby.
