Actor Peter Scolari, who was known for his role in "Bosom Buddies" alongside Tom Hanks, has died of cancer, his manager Ellen Lubin Sanitsky confirmed Friday. He was 66.
Scolari, who most recently appeared in the series "Evil," had a decades-long career. He rose to fame in 1980 when he and Tom Hanks co-starred in the sitcom "Bosom Buddies." The two played roommates who pretended to be women so they could live in an affordable, female-only apartment building, CBS Los Angeles reported. Years later, he and Hanks again worked together, voicing characters in the animated holiday movie "The Polar Express."
In 2016, Scolari won an Emmy for his part in "Girls," in which he played Lena Dunham's character's father. He was also nominated three times for his work in "Newhart," according to CBS Los Angeles.
