That's terrible news. He was so talented, such a character. RIP.

Rest in peace, Dom, the world of entertainment was fortunate to have you.

Thanks for posting that voice focus, Xerus. I was just about to request one.

In that particular episode of Ren and Stimpy (Aloha Hoek), he played a spot on parody of Marlin Brando. I never heard him do a Brando impersonation before. And on Duck Dodgers, he played a mobster with long time co-star Burt Reynolds (they need to put that series on DVD... really they do).

I just found out from a friend today who was telling me about a clip they saw of him on the Muppet show over the news and that he had died. It shocked me as my friend didn't know that i was a fan of Dom DeLuise and i didn't know that he had died! He was just telling me that he saw something on tv with the Muppets.
I have been a fan of Dom DeLuise my whole life. i first saw him in the Muppet movie, but i knew of him more as voice Itchy from All Dogs go to heaven as well as his other Don Bluth movies. Itchy has always been one of my favorite cartoon characters and i act a lot like him. I loved DeLuise voice and seance of humor, just the way he talked and worded things. My grandmother has used his cake recipe in the past and i remember when i was younger i heard her mention his name and that is where she got the recipe from. It was for my birthday cake that year and i think i was in 6th grade at the time, i remember my brother and friend saying "who?" as i inquired more about him to my grandma. I really wish i had wrote to him. He will be missed very much!

He was a great comic actor. I loved him in the Mel Brooks film "Silent Movie".

And of course I loved him on The Muppet Show and the first Muppet Movie.

I really love the sketch he did on TMS with Doglion, Mean Mamma and Luncheon Counter Monster.

I'm gonna miss him, All right.
