LOS ANGELES - Actor and comedian Dom DeLuise, whose big screen classics included “The Cannonball Run,” “Spaceballs” and “History of the World Part I,” died on Monday night at a Los Angeles hospital, Access Hollywood has confirmed. He was 75.

Most recently, he was working on the CGI live-action fantasy film “Instant Karma,” starring Dwayne Johnson, Pierce Brosnan and Mira Sorvino. Reynolds and DeLuise both had voice roles in the film.

DeLuise became a household name in the ’80s with his comedic commercials for Ziploc bags.

DeLuise leaves behind his wife, actress Carol Arthur, and three sons, all of whom followed in their father’s Hollywood footsteps.
