In addition to stand-up comedy Rickles appeared in a variety of TV shows and films over the years. He had guest appearances in everything from “The Lucy Show” to more recently “Hot In Cleveland”. He is also remembered as the voice of Mr. Potato Head in the “Toy Story” film franchise and was set to reprise this voice acting role in “Toy Story 4” which is set for release in 2019. Rickles earned an Emmy award for his performance in the HBO special “Mr. Warmth: The Don Rickles Project” and penned a memoir titled “Rickles’ Book” which was published back in 20017.
Our sincere condolences go out to Don Rickles family and friends during this incredibly difficult time. The entertainment universe has lost yet another great and his spirit will live on through the laughter he has brought to us throughout the years.
