Cast Memories: Peter Boyle

FAVORITE EPISODE:

"I have a number of them, but the one that comes to mind first is the one with Marie driving and me in the passenger seat and we back into Ray and Debra's living room. I'm just very fond of that one."

FAVORITE SCENE:

"Knocking down the walls with the car."

HOW SHOULD THE SERIES END?

"I think the series should end with them announcing them that they're going to do another year. That's just my personal wish."

WHAT WILL YOU MISS THE MOST WHEN THE SHOW IS OVER?

"Mostly, I will miss the people: the cast, writers and crew. Another thing I'll miss is the craft services table. It's a magical table where you can eat chocolate chip cookies and not gain weight!"

HAS YOUR SHOW CHANGED YOUR LIFE?

"I've had a lot of fun, done good work, gotten lots of laughs, and the show has been seen by a lot of people, so that's a positive. One thing I wouldn't do over: I wouldn't have had a heart attack, which I had in 1999 and almost died before surviving and coming back to work."
