Just heard this on the radio:

I loved the Cannonball Run movies and his voice of Jeremy on Secret Of NIMH made it my favoirte character in that movie and he was in virtually every Mel Brooks movie. He also had a very funny appearance in Stargate SG1 (which was produced by his nephews).

R.I.P. Mr. DeLuise

Shame! I liked ol' Dom. He was a very funny guy. I had no idea he was that old!

Are they going to bury him in a Ziploc bag?

Gonna need a mighty big Ziploc.

Loved him in Cannon Ball Run. Especially the out-takes during the end credits. He was great teamed up with Burt Reynolds.

Didn't know he was that old either. Farewell, funny man.

Your link's not working. It's not directing to anything Dom related as far as I could tell.

When I was a kid I really liked him as the voice of Tiger in An American Tail. He will be missed R.I.P.

I always liked him, his humor and comedic acting were pretty unique.

One of my favorite movies with Dom was called "Hot Stuff", late 70's flick about undercover cops that start running a stolen goods fencing operation so they can gather evidence to bust everyone that comes in. Dom steals the show.

Also loved him in "The End" with Burt Reynolds.

I always thought it would've been cool one last time to reunite Dom with Burt Reynolds for something. Just let them ad lib through some crazy scenario and have fun. Those bloopers at the end of the Cannonball Run movies were always my favorite part.

I also thought his son should have been a bigger star. He, like his father, was a great sidekick character.

That's a shame. My son and I were just watching the cartoon movie "All Dogs Go To Heaven" about a week ago, and Dom was the voice of the hero dog's wacky sidekick. The hero dog, of course, was played by Burt Reynolds. Great flick.

75? Wow, count me in as another who didn't think he was that old.

Just reading through these comments, I didn't realize how much voice-over work Dom did. He's been in allot of cartoons, huh?

That Robot Chicken sketch is a pisser! I love that show.

Amen to that! Secret Of NIMH is one of my all time favorite animated movies and the soundtrack is one of the best ever and gave the movie a more mature feel than all of those Disney movies of that time.

RIP!

No one mentioned the hilarious cameo at the end of Blazing Saddles as the director of the all-male production number "The French Mistake."
