Thank you, Peter Boyle
rich
crabby father of Ray Romano on the CBS comedy "Everybody Loves
Raymond," died Tuesday evening in New York after a long battle with
multiple myeloma and heart disease, his publicist Jennifer Plante
confirmed to CBS News on Wednesday.
In his long career, Boyle appeared in a great many films, including
1976's "Taxi Driver" opposite Robert De Niro, 1994's "The Shadow"
starring Alec Baldwin, and "Monster's Ball" opposite Billy Bob
Thornton. Most recently, he played Father Time in "The Santa Clause 3"
with Tim Allen.
Boyle was born Oct. 18, 1935, in Philadelphia. He left a calling as a
Christian monk in the 1950s to become an actor, and in 1970, he won
acclaim playing an intolerant factory worker in the movie "Joe."
In 1974, Boyle joined Mel Brooks to star as the famous monster in
"Young Frankenstein." Boyle reportedly was in full monster make-up for
the film when he met his future wife, Rolling Stone reporter Loraine
Alterman Boyle.
In 1996, Boyle won an Emmy for guest actor in a drama series for an
appearance on the sci-fi hit "The X-Files."
He was nominated for an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a
Comedy Series for "Raymond" in 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2003. The
series finale of the comedy aired on May 16, 2005.
Boyle is survived by his wife, Loraine, and daughters Lucy and Amy.

really can't ever think of him without mentally replaying his masterful
performance in Young Frankenstein - and that terrific, creepy role in
that X Files episode. (Loved it! But I've never looked at a Pomeranian
quite the same, since!)
Nifty bit of trivia about him meeting his wife while filming Young
Frankenstein... I'd never heard that one.

I remember seeing that for the first time (or a couple times)
with two friends of mine just back from the Army and
we were pretty entertained by the flick overall....
and first starring role for Susan Sarandon, by the way,
as the rich guy's daughter with the junkie boy friend that
Joe helped kill in the flick....

on TV. Time for it go on the netflix Q. Speaking of edited for
television (which I always hated seeing when NY's channel 5 showed an
uber-busty Hammer flick, like LUST FOR A VAMPIRE, er LOVE, I believe
they called it)...I saw that the guy who coined the phrase "It's 10
o'clock. Do you know where your children are?" on that channel just
passed away. For a minute I thought he was also "The Creep" who hosted
Creature Features on that channel, but I checked and I was wrong.
BTW, I am no longer going to write "R.I.P." in the subject line when I
post obits. I had done about 3 in a row and it gave the page an
unnecessarily gloomy look. So in a celebratory frame of mind I'm now
going to say "Thank You" to all of the wonderful people whose efforts
contributed to our enjoyment of LIFE!!

ohmygod. I remember that movie. *we* were rather creeped out, since
we were of the hippie ilk [no drugs involved in any of those
experiments], and had no problem believing the damn movie. Just like
EASY RIDER kept me out of the South for a good many years.

Ah, but you like the South now, I hope, tyger....
and as for the "experiments"
like I always say:
"Unless you have the photos and DNA, don't bother me"
(ha, ha)
