Everybody Loves Peter
The actor born in Pennsylvania in 1935 was a Roman Catholic and spent several years studying in a monastery.
According to information site wikipedia.org Boyle was a member of the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, a Catholic teaching order, and taught drama at their school in Pittsburgh before leaving to become an actor.
The veteran actor had an extensive movie career dating back to 1970 with his first starring role in the Vietnam-era movie "Joe". He went on to star in dozens of movies including "The Shadow" with Alec Baldwin and "Monster's Ball" opposite Billy Bob Thornton and Halle Berry. Boyle also appeared in number of television shows as well as hosting Saturday Night Live.
In 1996 he won an EMMY for Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for a guest appearance on The X-Files, but he is best known for his role as the lovable, but sometimes cranky Frank Barone on the CBS hit series "Everybody loves Raymond".
Over the last decade Boyle had dealt with several health issues. In 1990 he had a stroke and in 1999 he suffered a heart attack on the set of "Everybody loves Raymond". He recovered and went back to work on the sitcom until it went off the air in 2005.
He is survived by his wife had two daughters, Lucy and Amy.

Post a CommentPeter boyle will be dearly missed! He was the show on everybody loves raymond definatly my favorite!
Great article. Peter was a great actor.
Boyle will be missed :(
The part of in Young Frankenstien was only eclipsed by the role he played opposite Bill Murray (as Dr. Hunter S. Thompson) as Thompson's drug crazed attorney Lazlo in the "Where the Buffalo Roam," based on the book, "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas." If you loved Boyle, you need to rent this movie.
I so sad to hear about this. I remember him in the movie, "Young Frankenstein". He will be missed.
Yes, what a loss!:( This guy was a great actor.
What a loss. :(
No :( I loved him Everybody Loves Raymond and REALLY loved him in While You Were Sleeping :( This sucks :(
Very good article Ms. Lucas.
