He was great as the political consultant in this movie.

He should have got an Oscar nomination that year.

What a great performer. Did you see him in The Friends of Eddie Coyle?

Yep one of his best performances and a personal favorite book and movie.

Every time I watch "Everybody Loves Raymond" now, I still miss him.

He was a great actor!

what about Taxi Driver?

[–] historylover820 12 years ago

Taxi Driver is a great movie, but I didn't watch it until I was in college. I was in high school at the height of Everybody Loves Raymond, and I've seen every episode multiple times. So, when I think of Peter Boyle, Everybody Loves Raymond, Young Frankenstein, The Candidate, and Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose are what comes to mind.

IMO the strongest performance in the movie.
