Don Rickles Biography
After the Golden Era of Hollywood ended, Don Rickles is one man still living to tell his tales. One of the most respected talents in entertainment, Rickles got his start in the night clubs, toiling for over 20 years, until 1958, when Don made his film debut in Run Silent Run Deep (1958). The movie was a big hit. Afterward, Rickles continued acting, starring in films like X (1963), Bikini Beach (1964), Enter Laughing (1967), and Kelly`s Heroes (1970). In 1973, Don became a regular on Dean Martin`s Celebrity Roasts. From 1973 until 1984, Don appeared frequently on Dean`s show, paying tribute to some of his friends, like Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, and was even the roast master on the roast for Dean Martin himself. In 1976, Don his own TV series "C.P.O. Sharkey" (1976), which enjoyed a two year run. After 1984, Don began taking it easy, appearing in a few minor film roles. But in 1995, Don made a big comeback, appearing with Tom Hanks and Tim Allen in Toy Story (1995) in the role of the grouchy Mr. Potato Head. In 1999, he returned as Mr. Potato Head in Toy Story 2 (1999).

Ah! Don Rickles. What more can be said about him that wasn`t said behind his back? Yes, I remember him on the Dean Martin comedy roasts. And it truly looked as if Don was roasting. He needed a sponge not a hanky! Seriously, he sweats! I wonder how much material Milton Berle got from him. I would love to bring him to an OPEC meeting.
