My all time favorite TV dad - Peter Boyle, the cranky Frank Barone on Everybody Love's Raymond, passed away. Among my other favorite roles were the Monster in Young Frankenstein (gotta love "Puttin on the Ritz"), the clothing optional Christ fixated mental patient in The Dream Team, and the tough guy cabbie giving DeNiro advice in Taxi Driver. http://www.cnn.com/2006/SHOWBIZ/TV/12/1 ... index.html

I loved the expressions on his face during his visit with Gene Hackman, who portayed the blind man. The hot soup in his lap, the brken drinking mug, and then the satisfying smoke.
