!!Tropes Associated with Dom [=DeLuise=]:

* {{Acrofatic}}: As big as he was, not only was he a physical actor comparable to Creator/ZeroMostel, but he was also a professional dancer.
* BigFun: So much so that Creator/MelBrooks was known to add an extra day or two to any shoot Dom was involved in due to his tendency to improvise his lines, which often resulted in the rest of the crew (Brooks included!) {{corpsing}} and ruining takes.
* ForWantOfANail: In his favor. Creator/MelBrooks originally wanted to to give the role of Father Fyodor in ''Film/TheTwelveChairs'' to Creator/PeterSellers, but Sellers wasn't available, so the role went to Dom instead. Dom would then end up as a member of Brooks' ProductionPosse, appearing in a total of six Brooks films over the course of twenty years.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Creator/BurtReynolds. The two were best friends for many years until [=DeLuise=]'s death, and acted together in many projects over the years. At the funeral, Reynolds expressed how difficult it was to acknowledge that the world - and life - would continue to turn without his best friend by his side.
* LargeHam: Yes.
* NiceGuy: Much like Creator/AdamSandler in the modern day, [=DeLuise=] was well known around Hollywood to stop and chat with anyone who recognized him and often left tips upwards of $1000 at restaurants.
