I wonder if he saw it coming

'Raymond' dad Peter Boyle dies in NYC

"Clyde Bruckman's Final Repose" is one of my favorite X-Files. I hadn't realized he won an Emmy for that episode. Another great character actor passes on.

They made an announcement that there would be no photography during the show. Of c...
