Skip over this content A frequent collaborator with DeLuise, Burt Reynolds released a statement to Entertainment Tonight on his friend's death. "I was thinking the other day about this. As you get older you think about this more and more, I was dreading this moment. Dom always made everyone feel better when he was around. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. I will miss him very much," Reynolds says. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whomper Posted May 5, 2009 Author Share Posted May 5, 2009 I really loved Dom Deluise. The scene in Fatso where the Doctor is reading off the foods he will not be able to eat and a tear trickles down his cheek is one of the greatest comedy scenes IMO. A very funny man. Rest in peace.

rocknrobn26 Posted May 5, 2009 Share Posted May 5, 2009 He had his own true style. Very funny man. Some of his appearances on Carson were priceless and when he teamed up w/ Reynolds it was hysterical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rocknrobn26 Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 Serious loss. Great comedian and accomplished chef. Met him many moons ago and he was as nice as nice can be. no matter who you were. RIP I envy you. I have met Johnny Carson, Bill Cosby, Roseanne, several Bears (not Walter ) and The Cryan' Shames. (Dr. Hook?) But Dom would have been a highlight. Seemed like a regular guy. RIP!

Randall Posted May 6, 2009 Share Posted May 6, 2009 I really loved Dom Deluise. The scene in Fatso where the Doctor is reading off the foods he will not be able to eat and a tear trickles down his cheek is one of the greatest comedy scenes IMO. A very funny man. Rest in peace. I liked him in a lot of roles but remember him in The End with Burt Reynolds for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeeR Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Serious loss. Great comedian and accomplished chef. I knew it. He's really prudhomme isn't he? Randall beat me to it. He was great in "The End." He and Reynolds were a great team. Guys like this just don't make it in the biz anymore. If you're not nasty and vulgar and have "an edge" pretty much forget it.
