Dom DeLuise: Rest in peace, roly-poly bringer of joy.
If there was ever a comic actor that I wanted to pinch the cheeks of it was DeLuise. He just seemed that lovable.

Goodbye Captain Chaos :(
Mark Evanier's got a nice remembrance on his site. By all accounts, a really nice guy.
I'm always torn by that Blazing Saddles scene. I HATE the breaking of the 4th wall in the movie, but, damn, Dom was so hilarious in it!
Thanks for a lot of great memories!
Your YouTube is eating your American Flag, commie.
Harry and don-
Yup.

That's funny because that 4th wall thing has always bugged me as well but partly I think because it almost feels like Brooks ran out of a way to end the movie. Considering how clever it is up to that point it just feels weird.
randal-
Youtube is eating America. Not just the flag.
I honestly thought he was already dead. I also thought it was irrelevant because he was so timeless; I could imagine him appearing in roles in any sort of dramatic production of the last centurty.
@Dean: wait. we may have just agreed on a pop culture thing.
Lockwood-
He did seem much younger than he actually was. Maybe it's that way with comedians. Hmmm.
Arkonbey-
I'm not TOTALLY unreasonable. :)
Still an awesome movie and Don was so great.
He'll be missed.
