10	Recognized instantly by young moviegoers of the Eighties and Nineties for his constantly wheezing voice and constantly cheerful, if quirky, disposition, Dominick "Dom" [=DeLuise=] (August 1, 1933 -- May 4, 2009) first started his acting profession on stage, his first role being Tinker the toymaker in a local children's program, soon moving on to comedies like the off-Broadway "The Jackass", where he truly started to shine. In fact, former partner Creator/MelBrooks once quipped that when he hired Dom for one of his films, he would "instinctively add another two days to the schedule because of the constant laughter Dom provided on the set". Along with Brooks, Dom was a regular player in Creator/DonBluth films, often being the only actor to [[RoleReprise reprise their characters]] in the many DirectToVideo sequels they received.

12	In addition to his acting, [=DeLuise=] had a successful second career as a gourmet cook, publishing two cookbooks, ''Eat This... It'll Make You Feel Better'' and ''Eat This Too!'', as well as an instructional CD-ROM, ''Cooking With Dom [=DeLuise=]''. He managed to have fun with this in his acting work by [[ActorAllusion playing characters who were either involved in the culinary arts or liked to cook]].
