RIP Clyde Bruckman

Wednesday, December 13th, 2006

Yes, Peter Boyle, who died yesterday was more than the character he played on an episode of the X-Files - a fantastic performance that won him an Emmy, but that was probably my favorite performance by him. (By the by, “Clyde Bruckman’s Final Repose” is a great episode in what was probably one of the best seasons (the third) of the X-Files.) I never really watched Everybody Loves Raymond (wasn’t really the target demo, you know?), but whenever I did catch some random episode in syndication, his character was the one I looked forward to seeing. He was also really adorable in my fave guilty pleasure rom-com While You Were Sleeping. His filmography though includes so many movies I’m almost embarrased I haven’t yet seen - The Candidate, Taxi Driver, Monster’s Ball, etc.
