"Can someone post a picture minus Frank makeup. I've never seen the TV show."

I'm very sorry to hear the sad news.

Peter Boyle, in the role of Frank Barone on Everybody Loves Raymond, was one of my favorites actors in television entertainment.

Frank Barone was an uncomplicated, direct, and tough man. Something we need more of in today's wimpy, politically correct culture with too many metrosexual men.

That's sad. He was a great, funny actor.
Especially in Young Frankenstein.
And Everybody Loves Raymond

Prayers for his family.

Any word on cause?

He had a stroke in 90 and a heart attack in 99, but kept on giving us entertainment....

RIP...

When he hosted "Saturday Night Live" (1975) in the 1970s, he demonstrated his fine singing voice.

I have a recollection of him doing Marlon Brando in a skit on SNL called "Dueling Brandos." Maybe Belushi was the other one. It was hysterical.

He had been suffering from multiple myeloma and heart disease, said his publicist, Jennifer Plante

He was also a particularly creepy Lort Durant in Swashbuckler - what a cast: Robert Shaw, James Earl Jones (last movie he ever took his shirt off in), Genivieve Bujold, Beau Bridges. One of the trailers shows Boyle rehearsing his fencing on the beach. Moves pretty good for a big guy. RIP.

A pity. I used to see him on the streets of NYC ... seemed like a regular guy.

I can't imagine anyone in Hollywood portraying Joe McCarthy in a truthful fashion.

Can't wait to see what they do with Pinochet.
