Good night, Captain Chaos.

Dom DeLuise, the big, boistrous comic actor who seemed perpetually on the verge of the giggles as Burt Reynolds' caped crony in the Cannonball Run movies, died Monday, E! News has confirmed. He was 75.

In a statement, Reynolds said he was "dreading" this news.

"Dom always made everyone feel better when he was around," Reynolds said. "I never heard him say an unkind word about anyone. I will miss him very much."

A clear favorite of Reynolds, with whom he worked in several films and TV shows, DeLuise also was something of a good-luck charm for Mel Brooks, appearing in the director's Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs and more.

Outside of film, DeLuise wrote cookbooks, lent his voice to several cartoon shows and, with his longtime wife, headed an acting clan, which includes sons David DeLuise (Wizards of Waverly Place) and Peter DeLuise (21 Jump Street).

My brother and I still quote him from American Tail 2. I know he's better known for live action but his voice work was impeccable.
RIP.
 
A truly funny man. I still get loads of laughs at the end credits of Cannonball run. He was hilarious in the outakes! Take care Dom, you'll be missed.

He was hilarious in this. Say this the other day and laughed my ass off. RIP
 
Whenever I think of Dom DeLuise, I don't think of movies like Cannonball Run or the Mel Brooks films. It is always the first movie I saw him in, All Dogs Go to Heaven. He was a great actor and interesting character.
 
I have missed his absence from film for quite some time and am saddened by the news. His best part to me was as Marlon in 'The End'.
