I agree about TAIL GUNNER JOE. Glad I'm not the only one that saw it. Boyle had a great run in the 70's. In addition to "Young Frankenstein", "Crazy Joe" and "Tail Gunner Joe" he appeared in a few other really decent flicks (including "Taxi Driver") but my favorite was his role in the tv version of "From Here to Eternity" (he reprised Ernest Borgnine's part as the sargeant in charge of the stockade). Good actor gone too soon.

Sad news, indeed. I enjoyed him in Taxi Driver, but I'll remember him most for his role as Frank Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond. "Holy crap!" Rest in peace.

Back in 1986, Peter Boyle starred in a very short-lived series called Joe Bash. He played a policeman in this comedy-drama.
If I remember correctly, it was created by the same person who did Barney Miller.
Nobody seems to remember it, and since there were very few episodes, it was never rerun. A pity because it was quite good.

OMG! What a shame. I always enjoyed his stuff. Of course everyone knows him from Young Frankenstein, and Everybody loves Raymond. But he did a whole lot of hollywood stuff throughout his acting career. He was on many different TV shows, shows like NYPD Blue, Cagney and Laci, and several others. But one movie that no one ever seems to mention is "The Dream Team" with Michael Keaton. He was hilarious in that movie. And one of his serious roles that I always thought he did well in was from the movie "F.I.S.T." with Sylvester Stallone. What sad news this is. R.I.P. Mr. Boyle Don Cardi

Don Sicilia - You have to do yourself a favor and rent "The Dream Team." He ,along with the cast of characters in that movie, is hilarious. A very funny movie. Don Cardi

How sad.
The first time I saw him was in an episode of the X-Files. To date, his episode is probably the best X-Files episode I've ever seen. I think he even won an Emmy for his guest spot on that episode. He did. I was interested in that. What was his role? And why was it so good? It's been years since I've seen it but if I recall correctly, Mulder and Scully sought help from Peter Boyle's character, who was a psychic, to solve a murder case. See here for more info: Clyde Bruckman's Final ReposeIt was a very dramatic and although I don't remember much of what happened, I do remember how I felt after watching it - "WOW. That's great acting. Who is this guy?" (not knowing who Peter Boyle was at the time). Thanks for the recommendation, DC.

Peter Boyles role in young frankenstein as the monster was great! My favorite scene was his "Puttin on the Ritz" duet with Gene Wilder. Mine too! For those who haven't seen the movie or can't recall the scene just click over HERE! ( Dressed up like a million dollar trouper Trying hard to look like Gary Cooper )

Interesting trivial fact:
Besides his great portrayals in Young Frankenstein and Everybody Loves Raymond, Peter Boyle starred in Joe, Crazy Joe, Tail Gunner Joe and the aforementioned Joe Bash.
Make of it what you will.
(I still wish they'd show Crazy Joe so I could finally get to see it!)

Vitelli - I've been waiting for that movie to be shown for years now. It is never on cable or regular TV. I can't even find it on VHS let alone DVD. If you enjoy the Crazy Joe Gallo stories, then I suggest that you read ( if you haven't done so already ) "The Sixth Family" which was written by Gallo's bodyguard Pete "The Greek" Diapoulos. Excellent book. Don Cardi

Its worth seeing, but it was cheap takeoff on the fame that "The Godfather" garnered back then. Boyle was very good in it.

I have a vague memory of seeing parts of it on New York's Channel 9 back in the '70s. But, frankly, a lot of the '70s are a vague memory to me! Signor V.
