Career Though a capable character actor with a wide range, and more than 60 movies to his credit, Coleman is usually typecast as a smarmy, selfish, patronizing, self-absorbed bigot, usually an authority figure of some sort, most famously as a powerful, chauvinistic boss. His fate in these types of roles was cemented with his performances in roles such as Franklin Hart, Jr. in 1980's Nine to Five, director Ron Carlisle in 1982's Tootsie and the earnest John McKittrick in 1983's WarGames. A bigot is a prejudiced person who is intolerant of any opinions differing from his own. ...
