We all knew him as Jeremy, the clumsy but lovable crow with an affinity for string in The Secret of NIMH. He died in his sleep after a long illness.

I heard about it from here: http://www.cnn.com/2009/SHOWBIZ/Movies/05/05/obit.deluise/index.html

Definitely one of my favorite actors, voice actors and comedians. He'll be missed.

I didn't know he was 75. I always thought he was at least 60. He will be missed.

Very sad indeed.
His acting and voice work was great and entertaining.
He will be missed.

We have many movies to remember him and what he did to become famous.

I was so sad to hear that Dom DeLouise passed away... Indeed he will be sorely missed by all who knew him and were familiar with his talent. To my comrades in the NIMH community, I will say this; Do not grieve too long or too hard for somewhere up in heaven God is enjoying one of the best belly laughs ever as he watches this comedic genius go through his act.

Peace :(

Why is it when something good happens to me, something bad happens in the rest of the world? A great actor dies on the day that was my first at actual employment.

Dom had a wonderful career, with such roles as Jeremy from SoN and Tiger from the American Tail movies, to name a few. He always added the comedy element that made numerous movies as great as they were. I miss him already. :cry:

After doing some reading I discovered that Dom had been physically ill for quite a while, limiting his performances to voice acting.
I would say his funniest performance (in my opinion) was as Ceasar in Mel Brook's History of the World Part 1
