Oh what a shame - Dom was a real breath of sunshine in all the films he appeared. I remember him most as Captain Chaos in Cannonball Run, which he pretty much stole the film in.
RIP

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Dom DeLuise, the portly and popular comic actor who starred in movies such as "Blazing Saddles," has died in a Los Angeles hospital at age 75, celebrity TV show "Entertainment Tonight" reported on Tuesday.
The American actor, who co-starred alongside Burt Reynolds in movies such as "Smokey and the Bandit II" and "The Cannonball Run," died in his sleep on Monday.
ET said it confirmed the death through a family member. DeLuise's New York-based agent was traveling to Los Angeles and unavailable for comment.
"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 told ET.

I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentleman and is nothing else.
Last thing I saw him in was on Stargate.
He will be missed
Wow, I feel so young, not even knowing who he is....![]()
Another great classic actor gone. RIP Dom, rest easy knowing the millions you made laugh
