Goodbye Dom Deluise
May 5, 2009 by Lance Carter
Dom Deluise died today. He was 75.
I can remember watching Hot Stuff and Cannonball Run on HBO when I was a kid. They would replay them every day for weeks at a time and I probably watched them 50 times each. He was so great and you could just tell how kind he was in real life.
DeLuise starred in the films Blazing Saddles, Silent Movie and History of the World: Part I, Fatso, Hot Stuff and Spaceballs, playing Pizza the Hutt.
He was also a frequent co-star of Burt Reynolds, appearing with the actor in such films as The Cannonball Run and its sequel, as well as Smokey and the Bandit II.
