Just heard on the evening news that Peter Boyle died last night....
He was one of my favorites. He played the Frankenstien monster in "Young Frankenstien", but is probably better known as Frank Barone (Rays father) in "Everybody Loves Raymond".
He will be missed... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cheers.gif
May have to pop in Young Frankenstien in honor
 
"...but what did you get from the monster?"

A lot of entertainment...that's for sure.

Here's to Peter Boyle!

How many knew that he and John Lennon were best pals? In fact Lennon was Peter's best man.

/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif Cool!
Sad new, I always enjoyed him in Everybody Loves Raymond....Reminds me of my own father so much.
 
I really liked him, primarily from Young Frankenstein. Very versatile, good actor. He will be missed.

Here's some trivia speaking of Peter in Young Frankenstein. Remember when the monster (Boyle) went into the blind old man's house and got hot soup poured in his lap and his thumb lite with a candle? Who played the old blind man?

Good (and logical) guess, but nope, not Mel Brooks.
 
Gene Hackman... and his character's name was Harold.

Gene Hackman....went to high school in Danville, IL...just 20 minutes est of me. (As did Dick and Jerry VanDyke, and Bobby Short).
 
But, then again... Gene Hackman has been in everything. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif

A fine actor. He will be missed. Funny on Raymond, but I hope that rather one dimentional character will not be his legacy. He played no many better parts, so well.
 
Can't hear Puttin' on the Ritz without thinking about the monster. He did a great job of being a bigot in Monster's Ball.

Didn't he also play the private detective looking for George C.Scott's daughter in the movie "Hardcore"...

And I think he also played the lead role in a '70's movie called "Joe"..a "redneck" introduced in to the hippie culture if memory serves me correctly.
 
yes IMDB is one of my favorite reference sites. Best movie/actor database around. And makes it so easy to play "seven degrees of kevin bacon"... hehehehehehehe.

Another similar game (I derived it from the seven degrees thing) we like to play (while on roadtrips or parties) is to connect 2 different movies by who played in them.. example Connect Star Wars to Waterworld... James Earl Jones was voice of Darth vader, He also played in Field of Dreams with Kevin Costner, Kevin Costner was in Water world. The shortest number of links wins. It get really interesting when you try to do movies seperated by 40 years or so (or choosing movies from different actors guilds).
