He Played Assholes Better than Anyone

I am referring, of course, to Dabney Coleman, who has died at the age of 92.

Interestingly enough, all of the reports about his behavior as a human being were quite positive.

He managed to separate his acting asshole from his normal self, which is more difficult than one would imagine.  

For example, Andy Griffith said that he would never do a character like Larry "Lonesome" Rhodes in A Face in the Crowd because of the toll it inflicted on his family.

Even when Coleman played the most despicable characters, you could not help but smile.
