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.

DeLuise was brilliant, and willing to play to any stereotype desired.  Apparently he was a hell of a nice guy in person, but enjoyed playing the asshole, so did that on stage a lot.

RIP, Big Guy.  You knew how to laugh at yourself, and that is a rare capacity where you work.

RIP funny man.

At to the thread title, I sense a new languish meme...

A day late (literally) and a dollar short (not literally).

On-topic. This majorly sucks. I think I'll watch Robin Hood: Men in Tights tonight in his memory. :(

Oh damn :(  I liked him.
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

I can't love.  I can mildly like something.

Sad news. :(
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

Is he related to that guy that plays the father of Celina Gomez in that Disney TV show, Wizards of Waverly Place?

Whoa, so that other guy that directs Stargate SG1, Peter DeLuise, is also his son?

I think he is brother or cousin of the guy that works for Disney, or something like that.
