You guys will probably know him best in Canonball Run with Burt Reynolds. He made a lot of comedy movies. Most of them were with Burt Reynolds.
He's an incredibly nice guy. His son who used to workout a lot with weights and the former star of 21 Jump Street visited my gym a couple of times.
When Dom had testicular cancer and his testes were about the size of apples he called my brother in-law who was at that time a buddy guard/Security/PI. He protected him from the Pavaratzi and from the media in knowing his cancer.
My brother in-law said that eventhough Dom was in a lot of pain and barely walking he still managed to joke around with him and the hired people and he also cooked for them.
Great guy. He will definately be missed.

The comedian died in his sleep after a long illness. Calls to Dom Deluise's agent and his son were not immediately returned Tuesday.
The actor, who loved to cook and eat almost as much as he enjoyed acting, also carved out a formidable second career later in life as a chef of fine cuisine. He authored two cookbooks and would appear often on morning TV shows to whip up his favorite recipes.
As an actor, he was incredibly prolific, appearing in scores of movies and TV shows, in Broadway plays and voicing characters for numerous cartoon shows.
Writer-director-actor Mel Brooks particularly admired DeLuise's talent for offbeat comedy and cast him in several of his films, including "The Twelve Chairs," "Blazing Saddles," "Silent Movie," "History of the World Part I" and "Robin Hood: Men in Tights." DeLuise was also the voice of Pizza the Hutt in Brooks' "Star Wars" parody, "Spaceballs."
The actor also appeared frequently in films opposite his friend Burt Reynolds. Among them, "The End," "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," "Smokey and the Bandit II," "The Cannonball Run" and "Cannonball Run II."
