Emmy award-winning actor Peter Boyle, best known as the curmudgeonly father in the US sitcom Everybody Loves Raymond, has died at the age of 71.
Boyle came to fame in 1974 playing a tap-dancing monster in Mel Brook's spoof horror movie Young Frankenstein.

He has also been seen in Malcolm X, Taxi Driver and, most recently, The Santa Clause Three.

He had been suffering from cancer of the bone marrow and heart disease and died in a New York hospital on Tuesday.

Oh my God! That is so sad. He was such a good actor. He made me laugh on many occasions. May he rest in peace.:crying7:
 
DAMN!!! I was watching Young Frankenstein last night with Mum and we were talking about who was still alive in it.

Brilliant actor, he (and his talent) will be missed.
 
Damn. Whenever I hear his name I see him in a tuxedo dancing to "Puttin' on the Ritz" or holding the toilet flush handle in "Johnny Dangerously" and screaming, "My dick!"
