Thirteen Things about Peter Boyle
1….Classic! Young Frankenstein...

3... The only Emmy he won was for a guest role on the X-Files ("Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series") in 1996...He was the only member of the Everybody Loves Raymond ensemble who didn't win an Emmy for that show. Inconceivable!

Who better for this commercial than the hysterical team of Roberts and Boyle... Admit it..you know a couple like this! Heck... you just might be one half of a couple like this!! LOL!
8... His favorite movie is 'On the Waterfront' with Marlon Brando
9...His favorite ice cream flavour is Ben and Jerry's Phish Food
LOVED Young Frankenstein. For some reason, never watched ELR much at all. And of course you know that that commercial was originally done in late 60's ... funny
