Hey Dan
1. Thanks for sharing these lists on Peter Boyle.
2. A ranking of #343 is pretty impressive.
3. Looks like a tie with a few people on the Oracle co-star list…..one of those is RENE AUBERJONOIS.
4. I bring up RENE AUBERJONOIS for two reasons….(1) Is his last names one of the hardest to spell? and (2) I actually watched his first movie performance ever….1964’s Lillith…he has a blink and miss his appearance role in that one.
5. Lillith is also one of Gene Hackman, Jessica Walter, Peter Fonda and Warren Beatty’s first movies. I actually got a Blu-Ray double feature with Lillith and A Ship Of Fools on it. I got it for a dollar at a Dollar Tree store. The movie was ok…but for .50 cents I thought it was a good purchase.
6. Looking at the second list….I would say 34 Oscar winning co-stars is below average..but still a nice amount.
Good stuff as always.
Great UMR Page
Good actor

Monster’s Ball
The Candidate
The Friends of Eddie Coyle
Hey Flora….thanks for the feedback on our Peter Boyle page. Tally count….5 for you and 25 for me. I have seen all 5 of the ones you have seen….with Young Frankenstein being one of my favorties as well. I saw Joe years ago…I remember liking it….pretty sure it was one of the sources of Archie Bunker in the classic television show All In The Family. Added bonus you get a very young Susan Sarandon in the movie. Good stuff as always.
I love Queen’s Another One Bites The Dust……in this case another Joel subject bites the dust…now down to 28 to go.
As for Peter Boyle movies….I have seen 25 of his movies. Favorties would include – Young Frankenstein, Outland, Hammett, Red Heat and While You Were Sleeping.
My wow moment when looking over this page? I did not realize that Boyle was in both Michael Caine/Sally Fields movies. I clearly remember Boyle in Beyond The Posideon Adventure….but having a hard time remembering him in Surrender.
“Peter Boyle is an actor of wide range. His films have emphasized a flair for both comedy and drama, but few have been notable except for his performances. Peter Boyle continues to add broad dimensions to the characters he plays, if only he could get parts worthy of his talent” – Rating the Movie Stars Book (1983)
