Actor-comedian Dom DeLuise passed away on 4 May. DeLuise had an eventful career on film and television, and medievalists, no doubt, will best remember him as Don Giovanni in Mel Brooks' Robin Hood: Men in Tights (1993):
DeLuise also starred as the voice of Christopher Columbus in the English version of the animated film Die Abenteuer von Pico und Columbus (1992; a.k.a. The Magic Voyage), a film from director Michael Schoemann, released in conjunction with the quincentenary of Columbus's "discovery" of America. The entire film appears to be available on YouTube:
