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.

When was he?

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.

To this day it is still one of my favorite episodes ever.
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. 8O


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. :l
