- Robert F. "Bob" Colesberry, Jr. (March 7, 1946 – February 9, 2004) was an American film and television producer and first assistant director notable for his work as a producer on the Emmy Award winning miniseries The Corner, the Peabody Award winning television series The Wire for HBO, and the Oscar-nominated movie Mississippi Burning. Colesberry died at the age of fifty-seven from complications following cardiac surgery in 2004. His death occurred soon after his directing debut on The Wire episode "Port in a Storm", which was the second season finale. "Final Grades", the final episode of the fourth season, and -30-, the final episode of the fifth season, were dedicated to him. Colesberry had a recurring cameo on The Wire as detective Ray Cole. In episode three of the third season, entitled Dead Soldiers, Detective Cole was said to have died suddenly while exercising at a gym. Other characters held an emotional wake for Detective Cole. Colesberry attended Southern Connecticut State University before transferring to the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. At NYU he pursued a degree in drama. Since his death a scholarship has been set up in his name for filmmakers attending the institution. Colesberry was married to Karen L. Thorson in 1992, also a filmmaker and producer of The Wire.
