Career
Coleman is a character actor with appearances in more than 60 films and television shows to his credit. He worked with Sanford Meisner at the Neighborhood Playhouse School of the Theatre in New York City from 1958 to 1960.
In his time, he included a chief of the United States Olympic skiing team in the 1969 Downhill Racerference, a high-ranking fire chief in The Towering Inferno (1974), and a wealthy Westerner in Bite the Bullet (1975). In Attack on Terror: The FBI vs. the Ku Klux Klan (1975) he portrayed an FBI agent.
He landed Franklin Hart, Jr., a sexist boss on whom three female office workers retaliate in the 1980 film 9 to 5. Coleman was introduced in the role with whom he is most identified, and he has often appeared in this film as a comic relief villain. In Tootsie (1982), Coleman portrayed the arrogant, sexist, soap opera director from 9 to 5. He deviated from this style in other film roles. He appeared in On Golden Pond (1981), portraying Chelsea Thayer Wayne's sympathetic fiancé (Jane Fonda). He served as a military computer scientist in WarGames (1983), and in 1984, he appeared in Cloak & Dagger as both a loving, but also occupied father, as well as his son's imaginary hero. In the 1990 film Short Time, he portrayed an elderly cop who claims he is terminally ill.
Coleman has incarnated in roles in serious drama and comedies over the years, the latter of which often depicts him as a recreation of his 9-to-five character. In the critically acclaimed, yet short-lived, television comedy Buffalo Bill, Coleman received his first Emmy nomination for his lead role as a creative, but self-centered TV host. He was given an Emmy Award in 1987 for his role in the television film Sworn to Silence. Coleman appeared in The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984), a lisping Hugh Hefner-ish magazine mogul in Bobcat Goldthwait's 1988 talking-horse comedy Hot to Trot (1987), and befuddled banker Milburn Drysdale in the documentary film The Beverly Hillbillies (1993), the last of which reunited him with 9 to 5 co-stars Lily Tomlin and Dolly Parton. Coleman co-starring Martin Short, continuing his string of comedic foils. In Clifford (1994), Coleman played Charles Grodin's sleazy boss, Gerald Ellis.
Coleman appeared on the animated film Recess from 1997 to 2001. In You've Got Mail (1998), he appeared as a philandering father. In 2005's Domino, Coleman appeared as a casino owner. Burton Fallin, a character in the television series The Guardian (2001–2004), received acclaim. Coleman appeared on HBO's Boardwalk Empire for two seasons, from 2010 to 2011.
