I just read in one of the articles that John Lennon was the best man at his wedding.

I agree...to me, he will always be the monster in Young Frankenstein. No matter how many times I've seen that "Puttin' On The Ritz" scene, I laugh until I cry whenever I watch it.

RIP :(

He also did a terrific guest role on an episode (or more) of The X-Files. Excellent character actor, and a hell of a Frankenstein, of course.

It means I DO love my wife, but if I got hit by a bus tomorrow, that'd be cool too.

The thread title should have Holy Crap! added to it.

That's too bad. I loved his character in the show and Young Frankenstein is one of my all time favorites.

I just watched Taxi Driver for the first time last week and had no idea that he was going to be in it.

I also had no idea he was the monster in Young Frankenstein...though it's been WAY too long since I've seen that movie.

Dola-

He was on an episode of Mind of Mencia about six or eight months ago, and he looked BAD. I'm surprised he made it as long as he did... :(

Best trivia about Peter Boyle- He was a Dominican Monk before he became an actor.

Raymond is easily my favorate sitcom ever and he made the show. I am very sad about this because not only did he remind me very much of my own father but he was younger and that is scary. 71 is just to young :(

Put me in the Young Frankenstein crowd and I'll admit I kinda thought it insulting to call him the Raymond father but I know that wasn't meant to be and he's probably best known for that part.

RIP Peter, you were one of the greatest. :(

I caught that one too, and thought the same thing.

Rest peacefully, Mr. Boyle, and thanks for the laughs.

I saw an Alka-Seltzer commercial with Boyle and Doris Roberts (his wife from Raymond) earlier this year and I thought he wasn't looking too good. I didn't know about the health problems until I read about his death.
