He was such a fine actor that even when he is spouting in a hateful manner, you have to agree with some of what he is saying (such as that the kids are the ones screwing the culture up, not the other way around).
Peter Boyle hated that some people took this likability as a license to find he violence an acceptable means to resolve cultural problems. After all, Peter once studied for the priesthood.
Peter did have a temper - a famous story is that had trouble finding the building where he was to go to talk to the Raymond producers and by the time he got there, he was tired and hot and angry. The producers LOVED his forceful attitude and "don't give me any crap" discussions about the proposed series.
How many laughs did I get from EBLR as "Frank", a plain spoken everyman, busted the pretentious balloons around him.
It was with great sorrow that I heard about his early death. Why do the great ones always go early and the poor excuses for human beings like Castro hang on?
Always Loved Peter Boyle
