Dom will continue to be one of my favorite actors and comedians.

His scene in Fatso when he is trying to lose weight and calls in his support group for help is one of my favs.

‘”Why don’t we all drink some a-very sexy wi-i-i-ine!”
I forgot about his ridiculous role in that very funny movie. To think that Leo McKern was in that as well! God rest ‘em all.’

Here’s that classic opera scene:

"Dom in Hot Stuff...one of the classic moments of all time"

And that was his real wife and sons portraying his movie family as well. And remember his wife as the School Marm in BLAZING SADDLES.

RIP, Dom ... all those fantastic moments and memories.

Yikes.

Also, if he hasn't posted it here already (he had posted it on a now-pulled duplicate thread), COBOL2JAVA has an interesting tidbit on a minor role which DeLuise had early in his career...

COBOL, over to you.

RIP, Dom.

He also had a small role in "Fail Safe" where he played the Air Force sergeant who under orders had to reveal the top-secret features of our figher jets to the Soviets. Just watched this the other day, he did some damn fine acting - you could feel the tension of having to do such a thing!

[COBOL2Java]

Ya beat me in here by seconds! :-)

[grey_whiskers]

I'm a big fan of yours.

Remember the routine about the greasy Italian subs that you had to eat with your legs apart so the grease wouldn’t drip on you?

I must be getting old; 75 doesn’t seem that old to me.

Heh, to me either, from the downhill side of 50. ;o)

Deluise was from Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, NY.

Didn’t know that. Thanks. I have a couple of brothers living there.

I never like those Burt Reynolds films. But ‘’Fatso’’ and that scene your talking was one of my favorites!

[Revolting cat!]

I know a dude who could play a Dom DeLuise impersonator. What’s the competition like in Vegas?
