Originally posted by CNN.comNEW YORK (AP) -- Peter Boyle, the actor known for playing everything from a tap-dancing monster in "Young Frankenstein" to the curmudgeonly father in the long-running TV sitcom "Everybody Loves Raymond," has died. He was 71.
Such a great talent that was, in my eyes, the glue of "Raymond" ... may he rest peacefully.
This is a bummer. I loved him in "Young Frankenstein", and was fantastic in "Yellowbeard" (Mr. Moon) as well. He was a fine actor and a funny man. He will be missed.

"Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" was my favorite comedy episode of "The x-Files." Boyle's morbidly depressed delivery and moments of feigned enthusiasm were great. The capper was his vision of himself lying in bed with Scully with tears of gratitude running down his cheeks, which she thought was a missed prediction when he made it. The payoff made for a great finale!
Troll the repsawn, Jeremy was great. I'm on Team Lillian, too. "Well a man invented high heels, Kimmy because a woman never invented anything." My favorite episode was Kimmy's birthday party, the flow was perfect with no lull in the middle.
