Scolari, who died Friday, earned an Emmy award for his performance as Tad Horvath on 'Girls.'
"The shyest extrovert, the most dramatic comedian, the most humble icon. You had lived enough life to know that a TV show was just a TV show, but also to appreciate just what it meant to be allowed to play pretend for a living — and you never let us forget that this job was a privilege," wrote Dunham.
Scolari earned his only Emmy award for his performance as Tad Horvath, the father of Dunham's character, Hannah, on the hit HBO series "Girls."Dunham recalled how much Scolari loved his four children — Nicholas, Joseph, Keaton and Cali — and also how he would regale her with memories from his decadeslong show business career.
Dunham concluded her post by telling Scolari how much she and co-star Becky Ann Baker, who played her mother on"Girls," adored him.
