- Go to Peter Boyle
I liked what I saw of his guest spot in
The X Files myself. It was just enough "over the top" to be entertaining.
The X Files always made me think, anyway. I just wish his role in the movie version of
The Shadow got more attention than it did (I was the only person that brought it up in an obituary, as far as I know). Although I saw
Young Frankenstein in a movie theater, I didn't recognize Boyle at that time, and his cabbie role in
The Shadow is the first time I remember seeing him. When he did his guest spot in
The X Files, I believe I recognized him from
The Shadow.

Peter Boyle-- we've lost one of the good ones...
Yes, he was wonderful in YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN! And I remember that X-FILES as one of the best of the series. He played a psychic who had seen his own death. It was very moving, and one of TV-land's best protrayals ever of a psychic.
