We lost another yesterday Dom DeLuise has passed on he was one of my favorites.
Dom DeLuise, the portly actor-comedian whose affable nature made him a popular character actor for decades with movie and TV audiences as well as directors and fellow actors, has died. He was 75.
The Brooklyn-born DeLuise died Monday night, Michael DeLuise told radio station KNX on Tuesday. The comedian died in his sleep after a long illness. Calls to Dom Deluise's agent and his son were not immediately returned Tuesday.
The actor, who loved to cook and eat almost as much as he enjoyed acting, also carved out a formidable second career later in life as a chef of fine cuisine. He authored two cookbooks and would appear often on morning TV shows to whip up his favorite recipes.
As an actor, he was incredibly prolific, appearing in scores of movies and TV shows, in Broadway plays and voicing characters for numerous cartoon shows.
Farewell you will be missed!

I saw many of his movies as a kid and growing up. He was a very funny man! Thanks for the laughs Dom!

First Bea Arthur and now Dom :( A sad week for Hollywood.
"It is good to see ourselves as
others see us. Try as we may, we are never
able to know ourselves fully as we
are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not
angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to
say." - Ghandi

I am dating myself but I do remember him way back when he appeared on the Dean Martin Show. He will be missed.

I remember first seeing him in a bit part in the movie, "Fail Safe". Had no idea head wind up being a comedic actor at that point.
I'd rather stay in my lane than lay in my stain!

Fav memory - Dom and Burt Reynolds laughing...
Automatically cracked me up too.
He will be missed, but I wanna try not to be sad - don't think Mr. DeLuise would want that!

He was one of my childhood favorites too -- I enjoyed with him being one of the voices in the Secret of N.I.M.H back in '82...
He will be missed, but not forgotten.

I remember him from 'Blazing Saddles (the Hollywood director - "Not in the FACE!"...;)
and Urgo from Stargate SG1 (though there was another DeLuis connected with the show...always wondered about that...)
