Some of my favorite films he was in include Silent Movie, History of the World Part I, Cannonball Run, and SpaceBalls (even if he was a big glop of Pizza!). He also did several voices in animated films like All Dogs Go to Heaven and The Secret of NIMH. But, for Disney fans, he will be remembered for his role of Fagan in Oliver and Company. RIP Mr. Deluise. You helped us forget about our cares with laughter, even if just for a little while. Thanks for all the fun memories!

I enjoyed his brief cameos in Blazing Saddles and Spaceballs, as well as his appearance in season 2 of The Muppet Show and the various movies and TV specials he appeared in.
