Beloved character actor Charley Scalies died Thursday at age 84 following a battle with Alzheimer’s.

Scalies’ daughter Anne Marie Scalies revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that her father died Thursday at a nursing facility in Phoenixville, Pennsylvania.

Scalies portrayed stevedore Thomas ‘Horseface’ Pakusa on 12 episodes of The Wire during the show’s second season, which closely examined the economic issues Baltimore dockworkers faced amid changing times.

Scalies also appeared in an episode of another iconic HBO series, The Sopranos.

He played Coach Molinaro, Tony Soprano’s high school football coach, in a dream scene that showed the insecurities the troubled mob boss faced (and sought to deal with through therapy).

A Legacy obituary – which noted Scalies died ‘peacefully’ – emphasized the role family played in his life.
