Default RIP Peter Scolari (Newhart)

Peter Scolari passed away today at the age of 66. Cancer. He played in numerous tv shows but I remember him from Newhart. He played Michael Harris, the tv producer and Stephanie's boyfriend. He did a fantastic job on that show.

RIP Peter. Still too young.

He was great with Tom Hanks in Bosom Buddies. Sad indeed.

We love Newhart, bought the box set of DVDs and even reserved a room at that inn. So sad...

I watched the entire series twice over the past 12 years or so, a few years apart of course. It was a fantastic show.

Very sad news about Peter. I think he would be the third of the main cast to pass away after Mary Frann (Joanna) and Tom Poston (George).

Did you make it to the Inn?

No one remembers this little show starring Scolari and a guy named Tom Hanks?

I heard of the show but never saw it. I didn't even know Peter was in that show until I read about it a couple of days ago. I don't recognize him. The other guy looks like Tom Hanks in a wig .

He also had a very nice role in Hank’s That Thing You Do. Fine movie and fine actor.

I hate getting older….

Bosom Buddies was a good show for the time, really a star vehicle for Hanks, who put it to great use. Scolari did well also. That show also featured the absolutely incredible Donna Dixon.



Sorry to hear he passed at a relatively young age. Cancer sucks.

The fourth person in the photo above, Wendie Jo Sperber, also passed early of cancer, back in the 2000's. And Donna Dixon married Dan Ackroyd.
