'Raymond' Actor Peter Boyle Dies
Veteran character actor Peter Boyle, 71, who played the crabby father of Ray Romano on the CBS comedy "Everybody Loves Raymond," died Tuesday evening in New York after a long battle with multiple myeloma and heart disease, his publicist Jennifer Plante confirmed to CBS News on Wednesday.
In his long career, Boyle appeared in a great many films, including 1976's "Taxi Driver" opposite Robert De Niro, 1994's "The Shadow" starring Alec Baldwin, and "Monster's Ball" opposite Billy Bob Thornton. Most recently, he played Father Time in "The Santa Clause 3" with Tim Allen.
Boyle was born Oct. 18, 1935, in Philadelphia. He left a calling as a Christian monk in the 1950s to become an actor, and in 1970, he won acclaim playing an intolerant factory worker in the movie "Joe."
RIP, Mr. Boyle. His work in Young Frankenstein was classic stuff.
