RIP Dom

He was great as Burt Reynold's sidekick- the Cannonball Run movies, and especially 'The End'...they were a great comedy team.

Awww...I loved his "Muppet" appearances, and other series he appeared in over the years. He seemed like such a nice guy.

"Fatso" is one of my all-time favorite movies. Growing up in an Italian house as a child, we always laughed hysterically when we watched this movie.

Sad to see him go. He leaves this world with many laughs and warm memories.

So Long, Dommy-boy!

Cactus Jack · 05-05-2009, 11:57 AM

Wow, love him in Mel Brooks movies.

Nighthawk76 · 05-05-2009, 12:41 PM

He was great as Jeremy the crow in The Secret of NIMH and Cannonball Run.

TripperFan · 05-05-2009, 01:54 PM

Aw - we lost another great one. I'll never forget him with Burt Reynolds in "The End".

Rest in Peace Dom. Hope heaven has the best Italian restuarant you've ever been to.

Over the weekend Robin Hood Men In Tights was on HBO and I love Dom's cameo in that movie.

Rest In Peace Dom.

I loved his voiceover work as Jeremy the crow, opposite another talent who left us too soon - Elizabeth Hartman.
