The second banana to Tom Hanks on the show Bosom Buddies has lost a 2 year battle with cancer.
Peer Scolari had work but was always in the shade of the mighty breakout star Tom Hanks.
DL-
Scolari’s 43-year show business career included such highlights as his Emmy-nominated series regular role of producer Michael Harris on Bob Newhart’s 1984-90 comedy Newhart, an Emmy-winning recurring role as the father of Lena Dunham’s character on HBO’s Girls, and, most recently, his role as Bishop Thomas Marx on the CBS supernatural drama Evil.
RIP
A consummate professional, talented. Never heard a bad thing about him. May his family know his life gave others joy.
RIP, Mr. Scolari.
Up fron disclaimer; I detest pedos.
i thought he was the star of “BB”!
Imagine a world where men can wear dresses and pretend to be women! Oh, wait….
Kid me, watching Must See TV back then, always thought he was the cute one. RIP 📺
He was good in Newhart as the boyfriend of the ditzy blonde.
I always liked him better then hanks. RIP
On a morning from a Bogart movie
In a country where they turn back time
You go strolling through the crowd like Peter Scolari
Contemplating a crime
She comes out of the sun in a silk dress running
Like a watercolor in the rain…
What?
Little known fact: Tom Hanks was so embarrassed by his appearance in this show, that when he made it big, he bought all the rights to the show and buried it.
Who, what? I don’t give a shit.
That was a pretty funny show; RIP Peter Scolari.
He was also in at least one episode of “Reba”, as an old flame she reconnected with. I always liked him.
