A bit of TV trivia. Peter's father had a kids television show in Philadelphia called Uncle Pete's Gang. He drew pictures and played cartoons on the show. As I recall he also was the station's Santa Claus during the holiday season. Bob Momyer
Late comment, I met Mr Boyle at a Big Apple performance way back when. Introduced myself as a Circus Fan. He was with three young girls, I believe it was his daughter and a couple of friends. I asked if I might take a picture of them and offered to mail copies. He said "sure". I gave him a piece of paper to write his address on. He started with "Pete Boyle", one of the nicest people I've ever met. Sent him the pics and got a nice thank you back.
Then there's Bill Murray, but that's another story.

Peter Boyle, one of the great character actors.
Loved him in Young Frankstein as the monster..the part with Gene Hackman is priceless!!

Bob Momyer
Both he and Mandy Patinkin were on the Big Apple Board of Directors.
