    Actor Dom DeLuise passes at 75

    Dom DeLuise, who spiced up such movies as "Blazing Saddles," "Silent Movie" and "The Cannonball Run" with his manic delivery and roly-poly persona, has died, his son's publicist told CNN.

    Dom DeLuise was best known for his roles in Mel Brooks films as well as films with his friend Burt Reynolds.

    Publicist Jay Schwartz did not disclose the cause of death, but DeLuise, 75, had been battling cancer for more than a year.
