The veteran character actor Dabney Coleman died Thursday at 92.
Coleman began appearing in movies and TV series in the 1960s, when he was in his early 30s, and from the beginning, he had the look and the attitude of a grumpy middle-aged man.
Much of Coleman’s best TV work — like the short-lived sitcoms “Buffalo Bill” and “The Slap Maxwell Story,” and the soap opera parody “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman” — aren’t available to stream.
And while he had roles in dozens of very good films and TV shows, he was often low in the billing.
The seven Coleman performances below, though, are both outstanding and substantial, showcasing his imposing screen presence and ace comic timing.
