My favorite TV role of his was as Senator Stackhouse in a couple of 'West Wing' episodes, but most memorably in the filibuster episode......
There was a Charlie Coe in Paul Revere and the Raiders. I wonder if they were related.
We saw him (can it be?) 45 years ago in COMPANY on Broadway.

My husband just reminded me that Coe was in a hilarious Betgman parody called "The Dove" ("De Duva") sometime in the late 1960s where he lost a badminton game to Death. I'd totally forgotten that.
Bergman (as in Ingmar).
