I have to admit, I thought I was not a fan. I found him hammy. But reading the obits today made me sadder then I thought I would be. The man has appeared in far too many movies I adore than any character actor I like (and I like Westerns and Mob films). I remember him most from the beginning of the Muppet Movie. &#8220;Al-ey-gay-tors!&#8221; The above still is from his appearance on the Muppet Show. I also remembered &#8220;Smokey&#8221; and, of course, &#8220;Cannonball Run&#8221; (a movie I&#8217;m both glad and shocked hasn&#8217;t been revived by Bret Ratner or McG). If you were a kid in the 70&#8217;s (and it looks like 50&#8217;s and 60&#8217;s too) you remember Dom for being on TV all the time. His career began in 1954 and IMDB lists a cameo in a horror-comedy called Horrorween (sounds terrible). But that&#8217;s not the point. Dom was an affable, good-hearted, joyful, employed character actor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dom Deluise died this morning in his sleep.
