R.I.P. Peter Boyle
 

Peter Boyle who is best well known as Frank Barone on Everybody loves Raymond passed away yesterday at the age of 71 here in NY.Prior to that most of us would've known him as Frankensteins (or as Gene Wilder put it Frankensteens)monster in Mel Brooks Young Frankenstein.I also thought he was great on an episode of The X-Files.Rest in peace big guy.

He was the best part of Everybody Loves Raymond.

RIP

Holy Crap!!

his last movie
 

look for him next spring/early summer 2007 in what i think was his last movie called "all roads lead home". the movie was shot at stonecrest farm in kansas city,home of perfect drift. he plays a guy named poovey. :(

I was watching an episode last night where Mom and Pop were in a dept. store and she says to him "I'm your trophy wife" and he says to her " What contest in Hell did I win?'.....hilarious.....PB willed be missed! R.I.P

thats too bad...was he sick? accident?
I really liked him as an actor..very funny guy.

P: heart trouble and myeloma....I don't know what the last one is

bone marrow cancer...think it's pretty rare. too bad:(

Wow.. that's too bad. He was an under-appreciated talent...

This weekend, rent JOE (where he is brilliant in the title role); TAXI DRIVER (in a significant role); TV movie as Joe McCarthy in TAIL GUNNER JOE and OUTLAND (the Sci-Fi 'High Noon' as the bad mining company boss trying to Connerry killed)...

That X-Files episode mentioned above is one of the most famous of the series... "Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" (or The Finale Repose of Clyde Bruckman)... It's terrific.

RIP... :(

71 is too young. :(

He will be missed, a very good
actor. He was a riot in his role
as Raymond's dad, was also in
Young Frankenstein and Johnny
Dangerously to name a few.
Rest in Peace and be happy and
safe with our Lord.

Eleven Emmy nominations and one win is "under-appreciated?" I'd kill to be under-appreciated like that. :)

He won for the X-Files episode, by the way.

I was in a French class with his wife during the Raymond days-- heck of a schedule-- she told me he would spend three weeks in LA and then fly back for one week with her and their daughter (they didn't want to take their daughter out of her school so she and her mom stayed in New York). Nice lady. She was a reporter for "Rolling Stone" when they met, I believe.

lennon
 

Just a little piece of trivia ... his best man when he got married in 1977 was none other than John Lennon.

Really? That's a pair!

i just saw that last night, i love that line. he had hundreds of great lines on that show that he delivered with great timing.
sorry to hear about his passing. R.I.P.

Who could ever forget the scene in Yourg Frankenstein when he and Gene Wilder sang "Puttin on the Ritz". That scene was truly a classic.
