Actor Peter Boyle Dies

[jwmorrice]

Here's an actor that brought me a good deal of pleasure. I especially liked him in "Joe", "Friends of Eddie Coyle" and "Young Frankenstein".

I will always remember him in "Where the Buffalo Roam" with Bill Murray. Boyle played Hunter S. Thompson's lawyer in it.

he was also excellent in ' monster,s ball ' as billy bob,s father.

I have no use for either Ray Romano nor Patricia Heaton, but I would watch Raymond to see Peter Boyle do comedy; he was amazing.

He was such a powerfull actor that his comic timing got overlooked. The scene in Young Frankenstein with Gene Hackman as the blind man still puts me in stitches.

As a dramatic actor there were few better: if you took out his small but crucial role as The Wizard in Taxi Driver, Martin Scorcese would be working as a key grip today.

Yeah, that was the first movie I saw of him. I also remember his dueling Brandos with John Belushi.

Agreed, that was one of my favorite Peter Boyle performances, as well.

He's Dead?!?
To coin his phrase...
Holy Crap!

Factoid about Peter.

John Lennon was his best man at his wedding in the mid 70's.

How cool is that.

Now they're reunited to reflect on old times.

I loved his comedy in Everyone loves Raymond but I still hate that damn show.

He was best in the X-Files.

At JFK airport, I barked at his wife's dog when it didn't respond to my successive kisses. He came back and looked at me with a semi-smile, but I still didn't know who was on the leash. The dog was a white curly haired, stuck-up poodle. His wife looked exactly the same.

Gyaos.
