Everybody Loves Peter Boyle! Wow, of all the characters in the show, there was something about Frank that grabbed my attention and my affection. God bless his family - they must miss him terribly!
I'm fairly new to ELR, but I have fallen in love with Frank! He reminds me so much of my late husband. What a jewel - he will be sorely missed. God bless his wife and daughters. I listened to these interviews and it was obvious that he loved his family.
he was my fav character in Raymonds show and now hes gone but hes in a better place :) take care friend
Peter Boyle passed away in December 2006.
He was a funny man, great actor. So sad to have lost him.
:(
amazing man! but this interview made me sad :((
@asalmog I saw a smile
Where's my eggs Marie? xD
Toast Marie xD
He might have been sick or something, but he does sound and look like he's frightened. R.I.P., Frank was my favorite character on that show lol
so sad :(
why does he look like he's being threatened to do the interview or else o_O"
*sigh* may not know him personally but wish i had the chance to meet him :/
he was good inall he did! Loved him in ELR!
Hands down one of the best entertainers on television. I wish this interview could have gone on longer. Rest in Peace Peter, you are missed by many!
God bless Peter, he is such a great guy. I loved his character on Raymond, he was sarcastic and meant no harm. Then when they were mean to him, he was really upset. Those small moments of his character Frank being upset brought me to tears. He was a fantastic actor and nobody could play that part like him. I'm glad that I've gotten to know more about Peter on these videos, he seems like he was a great guy.
This is so sad. I'm glad that this was recorded though because he seems like he is thinking everything he says out and making sure he is telling everything the best he possibly can. I love when he smiles because its so sincere. I wish Peter could have been one of my grandfathers.
RIP Peter Boyle, We miss you.
RIP Peter boyle. I know him as Old Man Wickles :)
i watched this and young frankenstein a lot in my 9 10 and 11 yrs.
My mom was like "you know hes the monster" and i was like "no way"!
I so miss that guy :(
peter boyle will go down as one of the all time greats
R.I.P i will miss his sarcasm and whit .....wonderful and funny
he wasnt actually old here probably only 69 or 70 and thats not old by todays
standards but hes sounding very old sadly. I hated the character he played
on Raymond. Not him just the character. Typical of many mean men of today
that character. Didnt know Peter in other things but in USA he mightve been seen in much more.
At 14:53 he laughs. Until then, I thought he is not able to laugh for some medical reason.
he looks so sad and tired.
Lord I'm going crazy oh oh try this...haha lmao very funny.
I wonder if most people know that he played a small role as a cab driver opposite Robert DeNiro in the Taxi Driver ,,,,, you talking to me ? and also that he was John Lenon's best man when he married Yoko . One amazing historical clip if you can find it is Peter Boyle hosting SNL in the John Belushi era .
Rest in Peace Mr Boyle....you were a brilliant entertainer.
Some have said this interview makes them sad because he seems "dizzy" or "distant". I don't, I see the genius, the great comedian and a comparatively lucid elderly gentleman. He's not acting a role, he's being Peter Boyle and answering thoughtfully from a slightly condescending and patronizing interviewer.
We miss you, Mr. Boyle.
he was so good as rays dad,,,,funny as heck........
RIP Peter. Thanks for all the laughs during real sad nights in Afghanistan.
R.I.P. PETER BOYLE! You are a legend!
A great man, legend of comedy. May you rest in Peace Peter. Hilarious man
@onlynewzealand I think he is very ill here man not just weird R.I.P peter
yea he's defenetly has had some strokes.
@MrZer000 It appear's he just suffered some sort of trama. Half of his face is "sagging" Perhap's due to a stroke.
It's sad he's gone, but he was up there in age. Very, truly talented man in all ways. Freakin hilarious on ELR show. And was very funny in the movie The Dream Team.
show some respect. peter's a legend.
RIP :(
Thank you Mr. Boyle for the 9 years of laughs. You will live forever in our hearts.
Peter had a heart attack on the set of Raymond. His last years he had Cancer and continued Heart Problems. He looks very sick here maybe even going through chemo.
Be with GOD
