Peter Boyle, is the # 16 most connected actor of the 1980’s.
I have seen Peter Boyle in 7 movies:
The Candidate
Hammett
Honeymoon in Vegas
Killer
While You were Sleeping
Species 2
Monster’s Ball.
My personal favourite among those is Killer because of the riveting performance of its star Anthony Lapaglia who is a very underrated actor in my opinion with a range that encompasses both drama and comedy. He won an Australian Film Institute award for 2001’s mystery drama Lantana and a Primetime Emmy Award and 2 such nominations for 3 separate episodes of the TV sitcom Frasier in the 2002-2004 period. He also won a Golden Globe in 2004 for the hit TV drama series Without a Trace of which he is the star.
But back to the star of THIS new page. On top of his prolific big screen career [as witnessed by the 55 entries Bruce has listed above] Peter Boyle also did well on TV and Wikipedia gives deatails of 6 of his television movies and 15 other TV productions that he featured in. IMDB credits Peter with 4 acting awards and 24 nominations. According to Celebrity Net Worth site his net fortune at time of death was equal to $10.32 million in today’s money.
He Bob…..thanks for the thoughts on Peter Boyle. Tally count: 25 for me, 7 for you and 5 for Flora. I have seen 5 of the 7 you have seen. Of those 5 I liked Hammett, Honeymoon in Vgas and While You Were Sleeping. I have not seen Killer. I will have to check out that Anthony Lapaglia movie. Thanks for the further information on Boyle’s net worth, acting awards and television projects. Good stuff as always.
