Great as the Chief of the Fire Department who sent Steve McQueen up to the top of the building to blow the water storage tanks!

I’ve never seen the Beverly Hillbillies movie, but I remember laughing out loud when I heard he’d been cast as Mr. Drysdale.

RIP

The first photo, the black and white far left, looks like the late Robert Conrad from Wild, Wild West.
Apparently, they looked alike when younger.

This old film is a hoot, a great Dabney Coleman comedy in HD.

Cloak And Dagger - not a jerk.
Beverly Hillbillies - yes, more so than Raymond Bailey was.

Most of his other roles didn’t stick with me.

Buffalo Bill was one of the darkest and funniest sitcoms from that era.

Loved his role in _Cloak and Dagger_. Many people miss that one.

I thought it was daring with his anti-PC male chauvinist persona, it got an Emmy but only 26 episodes.

He was great in that role.

“Did you hear me? Fire the bitch” To his assistant in 9 to 5 who overheard a woman discussing salary in the restroom. Hilarious in that movie.

I thought he looked a lot like Adam Baldwin in that first black & white pic.

Yep...’Jack Flack’, superspy.

I also remember him in ‘Modern Problems’. My favorite line was when he pointed a gun at Chevy Chase’s face, yelling “Rest in peace, dips**t!”

Dabney Wharton Coleman was born on Jan. 3, 1932

He is one day younger than my father.
