Donating YT 3000 Club Member | 'Raymond' Star Peter Boyle Dead this is soooo sad he was a Great actor and soooo funny ! © Armando Gallo/Retna Ltd. 'Raymond' Star Peter Boyle Dead at 71 Dec 13, 12:12 PM EST The Associated Press Peter Boyle, the tall, prematurely bald actor who was the tap-dancing monster in "Young Frankenstein" and the curmudgeonly father in the long-running sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond," has died. He was 71. Boyle died Tuesday evening at New York Presbyterian Hospital. He had been suffering from multiple myeloma and heart disease, said his publicist, Jennifer Plante. A Christian Brothers monk who turned to acting, Boyle gained notice playing an angry workingman in the Vietnam-era hit "Joe." But he overcome typecasting when he took on the role of the hulking, lab-created monster in Mel Brooks' 1974 send-up of horror films. The movie's defining moment came when Gene Wilder, as scientist Frederick Frankenstein, introduced his creation to an upscale audience. Boyle, decked out in tails, performed a song-and-dance routine to the Irving Berlin classic "Puttin' On the Ritz." It showed another side of the Emmy-winning actor, one that would be exploited in countless other films and perhaps best in "Everybody Loves Raymond," in which he played incorrigible paterfamilias Frank Barone for 10 years. "He's just obnoxious in a nice way, just for laughs," he said of the character in a 2001 interview. "It's a very sweet experience having this happen at a time when you basically go back over your life and see every mistake you ever made." When Boyle tried out for the role opposite series star Ray Romano's Ray Barone, however, he was kept waiting for his audition — and he was not happy. "He came in all hot and angry," recalled the show's creator, Phil Rosenthal, "and I hired him because I was afraid of him." But Rosenthal also noted: "I knew right away that he had a comic presence." Boyle first came to the public's attention more than a quarter century before. "Joe" was a sleeper hit in which he portrayed the title role, an angry, murderous bigot at odds with the era's emerging hippie youth culture. Although critically acclaimed, he faced being categorized as someone who played tough, angry types. http://tv.msn.com/tv/article.aspx?news=244850>1=7703 |

| I read that yesterday on the internet. That was so sad to read. He was so funny on Everybody Loves Raymond. I read somewhere that he was good friends with John Lennon ( of the Beatles ). Last night on Larry King Live, Larry had Raymond, Doris Roberts and I can't remember his name right now, but the really funny guy who played Raymond's brother on the show talking about Peter. He will be greatly missed by many. Rudys Mom (Dawn) |
