“The actor, who loved to cook and eat almost as much as he enjoyed acting, also carved out a formidable second career later in life as a chef of fine cuisine. He authored two cookbooks and would appear often on morning TV shows to whip up his favorite recipes,” says the Associated Press, adding:
“As an actor, he was incredibly prolific, appearing in scores of movies and TV shows, in Broadway plays and voicing characters for numerous cartoon shows.”
Born in Brooklyn, “he was a regular in Mel Brooks’s films, appearing in tin The Twelve Chairs, Blazing Saddles, Silent Movie, History of the World Part I, Spaceballs and Robin Hood: Men in Tights,” says Chortle.

Dom Deluise was a true gentleman and a great comic. I’ve seen him act in dozens of shows including Seaquest: DSV, where he played the father of tony piccalo, Michael Deluise, Dom’s son as well as having Peter Deluise, Dom’s other son, playing Dagwood, a genetically enhanced, tho mentally slow super soldier. He was hilarious in the role and you could see the three of them playing off each other. Dom also showed up in Stargate: SG-1, playing a character that could only be seen by those whose mind he had been programmed into. Dom gave some of his funniest and best acting in those two series that I have seen. The amount of movies, and TV shows, that he was in gave me some of the biggest laughs and made me feel real good.
Dom will be missed by all who knew him as an actor, chef and family man.
God Rest his soul.

Strange but true: Dom DeLuise once appeared in a sex ed film playing the personification of an STD. They showed this in one of my high-school classes. I guess he was an unknown when he made it, but since such films are used for decades, he was fairly well know by the time I saw it. I forget which disease he played, but at least it was portrayed as being one of the milder ones.
