Dom DeLuise, the comical actor known in the automotive enthusiast community as the big funny guy, starring in “The Cannonball Run” movie alongside of Burt Reynolds, died today at the age of 75.
“I was thinking about this the other day,” Reynolds said in a statement released to TVGuide.com. ”As you get older, and start to lose people you love, you think about it more, and I was dreading this moment. Dom always made you feel better when he was around and there will never be another like him. I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. I will miss him very much.”
He will surely be missed!
