While I will always love Peter in Young Frankenstein, one of my favorite moments was his guest starring role in an episode of The X-Files, Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose. To this day it is still one of my favorite episodes ever. Such a shame.

I whole-heartedly agree with you BH. He was a great talent and will be sorely missed.
The Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey the orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
-I, Robot (Asimov)

CLYDE BRUCKMAN: I have only one dream. I dream it ever night. You're not one of those people who turns everything into a sexual symbol, are you?
MULDER: No, no, I'm not a Freudian.
CLYDE BRUCKMAN: I'm lying naked in a field of red tulips.
(In Bruckman's dream, his body slowly wastes away into nothing. He speaks over it, describing it.)
I'm not concerned with where I am or how I got there. I'm at peace and it's then that I realize I'm dead. My body begins to turn a greenish-white with spots of purple. Next, the insects arrive. The inevitable follows, putridity and liquescence. Before I know it, I'm nothing but bones. When I start fading to dust, I lose whatever care I still might have had about where my clothes are and as I begin to feel myself slipping away towards I know not what...
I wake up.
Well, good night.
That episode has always haunted me.
Ahh, Peter Boyle - I knew it was only a matter of time when I saw him make a guest appearance on Mind of Mencia.
One of the last of the old-school giants, in the same company as Sid Caesar & Mel Brooks.
He will be sorely missed.
