I'll miss him I'm a big SG1 collector and I was hoping "Ergo" would come to a con. Funny man.
Did you know he has the same body mesurment as Loni Anderson? It;s true, her waist and his neck.

Dome Deluise was known for acting in various shows, including several Mel Brooks films (Blazing Saddles, History of the World, Spaceballs).  He's also known for doing a lot of voice over work, which is where I primarily recognized him from.  He did a lot of work with Burt Reynolds and in various animated movies by Don Bluth (American Tail, Secret of NIMH, All Dogs Go To Heaven).  Among other random TV appearances, he also hosted a cooking show and wrote a couple of children's and cook books.

"Dom always made you feel better when he was around and there will never be another like him. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. I will miss him very much."
-Burt Reynolds

Oh, you must watch "Cannonball Run" to really appreciate him.   Here is a clip of him as Captain Chaos.

Looks like he was around in the 80's. =|

I'm not THAT old. :-[

Amazing that the cop did not arrest him.

Exactly my thoughts. At least he's got Charlie to keep him company up there.

Dom Deluise in a very dramatic roll in Fail-Safe (1964).
(You need to go about two and a half minutes into the video before he appears).
