Peter Boyle, star of stage, screen, TV, and Transylvanian castle, died last night.
Generally when his name come up he gets remembered (and rightfully so) as the tap-dancing Monster from "Young Frankenstein" and Frank Barone from "Everybody Loves Raymond." But everyone knows the first one and I never watched Raymond (thereby disproving the title), so tonight I'll be honoring his brilliant, off-center memory by rewatching his honorable gangster in "Johnny Dangerously," his messianic nutball in "The Dream Team," and his hilarious prophetic insurance salesman in the best episodes of "The X-Files" ever.
