Best. Frankenstein. Ever. RIP. Days have passed, and amazingly (well, to me), no one seems to have yet posted an obitfilter for Peter Boyle, dead six days ago of heart failure. Another one of those actors who lived in that gray area between small-'c' character roles and stardom. Sure, his recent associations were a little questionable, but he was the best part [youtube] of Young Frankenstein. And I hold him personally responsible for getting me off the fence on The X-Files, with his comically melancholic performance as a clairvoyant insurance salesman with a penchant for autoerotic asphyxiation. Quietly profound and witty. Dot the man.

Sorry, lodurr. Your post was well composed and moving, but it wasn't the first.
