Actor Dom DeLuise , dead at 75

Legendary actor-director Dom DeLuise has died, TMZ is reporting.

The Golden Globe nominated star was 75. According to TMZ, he passed away in his sleep at a Los Angeles hospital.
DeLuise is best known for his roles in several Mel Brooks' classics, such as 'Blazing Saddles,' Spaceballs' and 'Robin Hood: Men in Tights.' Other hits on his resume include 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas,' 'Fatso' and 'The Muppet Movie.'

Thanks for the laughs... always got a kick out of him on Johnny Carson when he would come on with Burt Reynolds.

A very funny man who gave the world a lot of laughs.

One of my favorite Dom moments was him playing Caesar in "History of the World Part I".
