Subject: RE: Obit: Actor Peter Boyle (Dec 06)
That's Frank Barone Dani......And that was a character he created so well. "Frank" made several appearances on other series as they started up. Everybody might have loved Raymond, but everyone DID love Frank Barone.
He was extraordinary in "Monster's Ball" as Billy Bob Thornton's father in what could almost be considered a "bit" part. And what else.............as Joe McCarthy in "Tail Gunner Joe" or as Frank McGinnis in "The Brink's Job" with a great turn by Peter Falk.......as the gangster boss in "Johnny Dangerously."
Sometimes these things just get me bad.......this one really does
