Dom Deluise - latest news, information, videos, photos, images

From Wikipedia: Dominick "Dom" DeLuise (August 1, 1933 – May 4, 2009)DeLuise was born in Brooklyn, New York to Italian American parents, Vincenza "Jennie" (née DeStefano), a homemaker, and John DeLuise, a civil servant (garbage collector).DeLuise generally appeared in comedic parts, although an early appearance (in the movie Fail-Safe as a nervous enlisted airman) showed a possible broader range. His first acting credit was as a regular performer in the television show The Entertainers in 1964. He gained early notice for his supporting turn in the Doris Day film The Glass Bottom Boat (1966). In his New York Times review, Vincent Canby panned the film but singled out the actor, stating, "...the best of the lot, however, is a newcomer, Dom DeLuise, as a portly, bird-brained spy."
