NEW YORK (AP) -- 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. - CNN
Boyle always turned in a very good performance. He was in several excellent movies; Joe (1970), The Candidate (1972), and Young Frankenstein (1974). Coming within a few years of each other, those critically-acclaimed films showed Boyle's range as an actor. (He even did his own singing in "Young Frankenstein".)
That's too bad DG..I only knew him from Raymond..what a great actor.
