Shoot. he was way too young, but I loved him onstage and on screen and at the stage door. F-cancer.

Great on Bosom Buddies and Newhart. Never got to see him onstage.

A wonderful actor.

I had such a crush on him when I was but a petite young lad... heartbreaking news... RIP

Damn! Way too young!

I wasn't all that familiar with his work, but I was lucky enough to catch him onstage a few years ago in "The True" off-Broadway, which I guess was his final stage role? It was him onstage with the great Edie Falco and Michael McKean. The play was unextrordinary, I thought, and Scolari's role wasn't the most flashy. But he had a quiet groundedness to him that gave him a magnetic, imposing stage presence even up against Edie Falco, who's character was much more loud and active.

What a loss! He was one of my dad's favorite actors, so it was a real treat when we got to see him in Wicked about five years ago, playing the role of the Wizard; I remember thoroughly enjoying his performance. May his memory be a blessing to those who knew and loved him!
