He 'couldn't have been cooler'
"Peter Scolari was kind enough to appear in our Bosom Buddies episode of The Greatest Event in TV History, and of course couldn't have been cooler and more generous with his time. I was honored to borrow his role of Henry, even for just a minute," Adam Scott wrote.
'A wonderful career'
"RIP dear Peter Scolari. I was lucky enough to work with you and learn from you onstage and screen. A sweet funny cool dude," Jackie Hoffman wrote. "I hope you get gigs wherever you are."
'He was funny, talented, and caring'
"I don't have the words to describe what a good man Peter Scolari was, besides being a tremendous talent he was always willing to reach out a hand and help others. He had many gifts in his life and he always shared them freely," comedian Noel Casler wrote. "Rest Easy, Peter."
'One of the best'
"What a wonderful actor he was! So sad to hear of the loss of the versatile Peter Scolari. I never had the chance to work with him, but I'm grateful for a lifetime of his brilliant performances," Mark Hamill wrote.
'So grateful to have grown up with his work'
"Sad to see the news that Peter Scolari lost his battle with cancer," Harvey Fierstein wrote. "There wasn't a sweeter man on the planet. We performed together in HAIRSPRAY for a time and he was always a total delight. Farewell, dear Peter."
'Peter was beloved on our set'
"Peter was beloved on our set by the cast, the crew, and the writers not only because he was mensch and a giving actor, but because he took what otherwise was the straight man part and turned it into a comic pleasure," Evil creators Robert and Michelle King said in a statement to Variety. "He always found different ways to phrase things or find odd pauses in the middle of sentences. You could see him molding the lines looking for the laughs. Watching his dailies was always a thrill because you saw his craft in action. He worked with us right up until April 27th, and he was great in every episode. We are going to miss him dreadfully."
