00:00 Dagny Coleman, an actor who is popular for the hilarious character he played in 9to5,
00:07 died on Thursday, May 16.
00:10 His daughter confirmed his death with the media as he took his last breath at his home
00:15 in St. Monica, Calif., but his daughter did not cite any cause of the 92-year-old actor's
00:22 death.
00:24 She told Hollywood Reporter, "My father crafted his time here on earth with a curious mind,
00:31 a generous heart, and a soul on fire with passion, desire, and humor that tickled the
00:37 funny bone of humanity.
00:40 As he lived, he moved through this final act of his life with elegance, excellence, and
00:45 mastery."
00:46 Dagny had a vast career in acting.
00:50 He showed his acting adeptness through many television series and movies based on the
00:55 genre of drama and comedy.
00:57 But he was a little right in playing his comic role.
01:00 May it be Franklin Hart Jr., a despicable boss in 9to5, or host of a talk show, Bill
01:07 Bichinger in Buffalo Bill.
01:09 John Jay O'Connor outlined this Emmy winner as "the kind of gifted actor who always seems
01:17 to be deteriorating on the verge of becoming a star."
01:21 Dagny worked in many ventures like The Slab, Maxwell Story, Seinfeld, and others.
01:27 All those failed, although he received an appreciation for his acting.
01:32 Even Buffetto Bill also went off-air after a few episodes.
01:37 Explaining the reason, the Stuart Little actor once told The Times, "Writers write wrong
01:44 for me sometimes.
01:45 They are trying to be funny, usual, trying to make a joke.
01:49 And that's not what I do, you know?
01:51 It's not jokes, it's not words.
01:54 It's acting.
01:55 It's acting funny."
01:56 He died but left his mark through his subtle acting skills.
