History Creator / DomDeluise

* ForWantOfANail: In his favor. Creator/MelBrooks originally wanted to to give the role of Father Fyodor to Creator/PeterSellers, but Sellers wasn't available, so the role went to Dom instead. Dom would then end up as a member of Brooks' ProductionPosse, appearing in a total of six Brooks films over the course of twenty years.

* HeyItsThatGuy[=/=]HeyItsThatVoice: Tends to happen a lot when he shows up.

* ''Film/EvilRoySlade'' - Logan Delp

* ProductionPosse: He's frequently teamed up with Creator/DonBluth or Creator/MelBrooks.

* ''FailSafe'' (his debut) - Sgt. Collins

* ''Film/{{Fatso}}''

He has a son, Peter Deluise, who became a star of the early Fox TV series, ''Series/TwentyOneJumpStreet'', and a regular director of episodes of ''Series/StargateSG1''.

* TheDanza: Sort of. He was cast in ''SilentMovie'' as Dom Bell.

-> ''"I became a comedian when they laughed at my serious acting."''

Recognized instantly by young moviegoers of the Eighties and Nineties for his constantly wheezing voice and constantly cheerful, if quirky, disposition, Dominick "Dom" [=DeLuise=] (1933-2009) 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 frequently worked with Creator/DonBluth, and was known to [[RoleReprisal reprise the characters]] he voiced in just about every sequel or TV series they later appeared in.

* HeterosexualLifePartners: With BurtReynolds. The two were best friends for many years until [=DeLuise=]'s death, and acted together in many projects over the years. At the funeral, Reynolds expressed how difficult it was to acknowledge that the world - and life - would continue to turn without his best friend by his side.

* ''BlazingSaddles'' - Buddy Bizarre

* ''TheMuppetMovie'' - Bernie The Agent

* ''{{Spaceballs}}'' - Pizza The Hutt

* ''RobinHoodMenInTights'' - Don Giovanni

* OneSceneWonder: Unless he has a major role in the movie hes' billed in, expect the screen time that he's going to get to be short and memorable. Case in point: Don Giovanni of ''RobinHoodMenInTights''.

* ''WesternAnimation/TheSecretOfNIMH''- Jeremy
* ''WesternAnimation/AnAmericanTail'' - Tiger

* ''WesternAnimation/AllDogsGoToHeaven'' - Itchy Itchiford
* ''An American Tail: Fievel Goes West'' -Tiger
