'9 to 5' star Dabney Coleman has died. He was 92. A rep for the actor tells ET that he died at home on Thursday. Coleman was best-known for his villainous role opposite Jane Fonda, Dolly Parton and Lily Tomlin in the 1980 comedy. He also starred in multiple TV shows and other feature films, including 'Tootsie,' 'WarGames,' 'The Beverly Hillbillies' and 'You've Got Mail.' Coleman's final role was playing Kevin Costner's father, John Dutton Sr., in a season 2 flashback on 'Yellowstone.'

He was one of those actors that never seemed to be “acting”. He was totally living in the moment. I really enjoyed watching his movies, especially Tootsie and 9 to 5.

So true, seemed like he always fit right in effortlessly.
A fantastic actor.!!! RIP Dabney
A very great actor!!!! He was just wonderful!!! North Dallas Forty, Columbo, Nine to Five, John Duttons father etc..... What a powerhouse actor!!!! He will be so very missed... 😢😢😢.. 🙏🙏🙏.. 💔💔💔.. 🕊🕊🕊🕊......
One of those actors that was perfect in any role and pulled you right in. Always came across as humble and respectful. Was less then a month ago stumbled on a clip of him on KZread and went down rabbit hole looking at his old movie trailers, interviews, etc and then see this today. So sad, another classy and memorable actor leaves us.
Excellent actor. I enjoyed all of his work.

Oh man this is a hard one. This man gave us so many laughs. The man we loved to hate in many of his roles. My favs are 9to5, Modern Problems and The Towering Inferno. RIP Sir Dabney Coleman.

I forgot he was Quimby. Thanks.
His touching performance as John Dutton Sr. on Yellowstone brought me to tears. RIP Mr. Coleman…
People remember him for the 80s stuff, but towards the end of his career, he did a stint on Boardwalk Empire that was amazing. Thanks, Dabney. R.I.P. My kids and I will probably watch 9 to 5 today. Anyone remember a ridiculous little gem titled Short Time? He plays a cop trying to die in the line of duty for insurance for his family, but it's all due to a medical test mixup.
Loved him in 9 to 5!!!!❤❤❤❤

RAT POISION IN HIS COFFEE HANOI JANE DID IT
One of my favorite actors and his movies always made me feel better and Im so sorry for his family because were never prepared to lose the people we love. There have been several actors who have passed away and I cry as though I knew them i guess because movies and sitcoms were an escape as I was a kid and even now sometimes. When me and my sister and brother were being raised by my our grandparents and in the 80s we only had 3 channels on tv because we were so out in the country so when we finally got a vcr it was amazing and 9 to 5 was one of our favorites that we would watch and never got tired of watching and my wonderful grandfather was a quiet man but when we would watch 9 to 5 and National Lampoons Vacation and Threes Company and the Andy Griffith Show the best part was my grandfather laughing so hard right along with us. I dont really know how else to explain it and im sorry for rambling but I hope those actors and their families knew how special they were to so many people.

Dabney Coleman always made me laugh out loud! Even in the 1969 Elvis Presley movie "The Trouble with Girls" where he tricked some little kids into buying illegal fireworks. And all his great roles in movies, and television series throughout the years. He even played a killer in two episodes of "Columbo" with Peter Falk. Rest in Peace Dabney 🙏

He will be deeply missed from 9 til 5 24/7 and 92 jams.❤
RIP. Loved "Drexell's Class."
He was a great actor... Cloak & Dagger will always be a childhood favorite of mine. Godspeed, Mr. Coleman! And Jack Flack always escapes...
Dabney Coleman may have been a star lately but he was best known as Slap Maxwell. It was the short lived show that lasted 22 episodes on NBC in 1987 that followed 7 years ago with Buffalo Bill which lasted 26 episodes. He'd been on countless appearances went from The Donna Reed Show to appearances on action and drama shows and then got into movies and guest appearances. But was best know as the boss Frank M. Hart in 9 to 5 and other films from 1965 to 2016. He was in the last film "Rules Don't Apply" and in his last appearances in "Sins of The Father" on Yellowstone. Even has a role with Aly & AJ in "Star Maps." E.T. Access Hollywood and Extra said There's word tonight that Coleman has died at 92. His wife Jean Hale in which Ann Courtney Harrell was divorced and his 4 children are with him.
Sending prayers to family and friends 🙏
My childhood is dying. We are slowly losing all our 1980s heros and villians.

He was great. Loved him in ONE GOLDEN POND AND NINE TO FIVE. RIP
Fun fact: it was Coleman who was originally slated to be the agent in "Tootsie". However, Hoffman insisted on director Sydney Pollack to add realism to the role! RIP to both
A sad goodbye to one of my favorite actors! I always enjoyed his movies. I just watched him in Maybe Baby with Jane Curtain it was really good.
Rest in peace 🙏 🪦 Rest in power 🔋 🙏 Rest in paradise till we all meet again please 🙏 😢 😭 💔💔💔 🕊 🕊 🕊
He did a excellent job in the movie On Golden Pond. It surprised me that he could be that dramatic in something so beautiful!
He was very well respected in the industry and people loved working with him
Oh, he was on of my favorite actors, l loved him in working 9to5! Enjoy heaven!❤
You know something? It was because of Disney that I first became familiar with Dabney Coleman. I remember seeing him first in My Date With The President's Daughter (although it aired a lot on Disney Channel when I was growing up, I found out a few years ago it was actually made for The Wonderful World Of Disney on ABC). I also saw him as Riverton Police Chief Quimby in one of my childhood cinematic mementos, the 1999 action comedy Inspector Gadget with Matthew Broderick [made for Disney]. He was also the voice of Principal Prickly in another Disney project = Recess : School's Out. Besides appearing in movies that was made by the House Of Mouse, he appeared in two movies that I saw on Disney Channel all the way back in the early 2000s that were made by other studios. One was the 1994 comedy Clifford with Martin Short, Charles Grodin [R.I.P.] and Mary Steenburgen. His character Gerald Ellis was the boss to Grodin's Martin Daniels and was concealing (literally) a secret regarding his hairline. The first time I watched Clifford I didn't get to watch the remaining twenty minutes due to being sent to bed since the film was airing at the time (this was when the current millennium was starting out) I was to tuck in. The second movie was the 1984 spy adventure film Cloak & Dagger. The night it was broadcast, I wasn't aware of its title and resulted in me not knowing what it was called for years. Besides the title, I didn't instantly recognize Dabney Coleman as the character of Jack Flack or as the dad to Henry Thomas' Davey Osborne. Like Clifford, the bedtime of my early years thwarted my goal of seeing the ending of this film. I finally watched it during the peak of the pandemic quarantine and I am sorrowful I missed out on not seeing it sooner. Later on, when my mom bought the VHS copy to the 1999 movie Stuart Little, I once again didn't recognize him right away as the doctor who examines Stuart after the incident with the washing machine. Only through subsequent viewings did I finally noticed who it was. Despite never being a Hollywood A-lister like Tom Hanks or Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dabney Coleman was a man that was super committed to his craft and took on each role without faltering and was content with working steadily and not scurrying away into becoming an enigmatic recluse. Farewell, Dabney. You did your job so well.
Rest in power Mr. Dab❤you will be missed and remembered fondly with your sexy self.
Liked him for voicing as Principal Peter Prickly in both TV Series and Movie Version of “Disney’s Recess”… 😭🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Rest in peace, Principal P. Thanks for a wonderful childhood. 😢
Such a great and versatile actor. Brilliant in comedy, as we've seen in this 9 to 5 clip plus drama. He was brilliant in Columbo also.
i'm shocked i've been a fan for many years i always wanted them to do a 9 to 5 sequel with him in it in some form getting revenge for getting fired

RIP SIR 🙏🏽 Loved you in every character you played. Rest well.
My second favorite performance from Dabney Coleman in a feature film was his portrayal of the character of Harrison Wilby in the 1969 motion picture, "The Trouble With Girls"; an excellent movie starring Elvis Presley.
Big love from England. Dabney came in strong in 9 to 5, and Tootsie. This mo-fo had a big set of balls ❤
No! He was such a good actor and nice guy, I was just wondering about him last night; I remembered how he'd had a sandwich named after him in Burbank! To find out now that he died then is shocking beyond the normal. RIP, Dabney, you were great!
He may be remembered for his staring roles in big shot live action shows in his prime, but I'll never forget his voice role as Principal Prickly from "Recess." It's sad to lose such a legend, and I hope his family is doing well.💐
Rest in peace Dabney Coleman
Rest in peace Dabney.🙏🛐 A talented actor.
I really like this guy in Cloak and Dagger and Drexell’s Class. Really good actor and seemed like the mustache played a big part in his whole look, like Selleck.

Action Jack!
The movie WarGames. I remember him very well in that one.
Rip Dabney Coleman never knew until today that he was the voice of Principal Prickly off of one of my childhood shows Disney's Recess😢
Here's to the man who gave us the funniest car chase scene in film history..... SHORT TIME (1990) God speed. May we meet some distant day...❤
One of the best at acting as the villain 👏 God speed.
He was great in 9 to 5 you hated his character so much he's gonna be missed 💙🙏
I remember seeing Dabney Coleman in The Muppets Take Manhattan and Stuart Little. May he rest in peace 😢🙏
Very sad. He was such a good actor
Of course he was great in "9 to 5", but I remember him best in one of my favorite movies that I watched with my parents when I was a little girl and still watch occasionally: "The Other Side of The Mountain". ✝️🕊💕
Please rest in peace, Mr. Coleman. 🪦
I can’t believe the guy who played Principal Prickley is gone. Rest in Peace.
Rest in paradise, "Principal Prickly". 😢
My condolences to his family and friends. May he rest in peace. 😢
Wow, didn't know he was still alive. He was one of those guys (I think) just known as an actor who did his job and wasn't all over the press. If people can track down "Buffalo Bill" that was a groundbreaking and short lived show.
Cloak and dagger one of my favorites
Inspector Gadget and My Date With The President’s Daughter are the only movies I can name he was in.
Praying for his family and friends and fans 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Terrific actor. I always laugh when I think of the scene in Tootsie where Hoffman is about to reveal the truth and Coleman says “Here come the terms.”
He was amazing in the movie Cloak and Dagger.
R.I.P Dabney Coleman
I am 45 i remember him in the 80s❤
Loved him in Wargames too!
Buffalo Bill was a short lived show about broadcasting, while I was in broadcasting myself. It was very accurate. Starring Dabney Coleman.
Wow. Very sad news 😞
Dabney Coleman won the prime time Emmy for the tv show Buffalo bill he also appeared on the fox comedy Drexel s class with future clueless star Brittany Murphy
He was superb in, 'On Golden Pond.'
RIP Dabney ... and thanks for the memories!
What a fun actor to watch thank you ❤
He was great as a "smut peddler" in the movie Dragnet.
Prayers for his family
Dabney also Played Principal Prickley in Recess.
