Dabney Coleman

'Cloak & Dagger' (1984)

This loose remake of 1949's fantastic film noir "The Window" features "E.T." star Henry Thomas as Davey, a preteen who uses video games to deal with his recently deceased mother and absent workaholic father. When Davey inadvertently receives actual ... moretop-secret FBI data, he must become a real spy with the help of his imaginary best friend Jack Flack. Dabney Coleman, in a terrific double role, plays both Davey's father and his virtual warrior hero.
