After the Golden Era of Hollywood ended, Don Rickles is one man still living to tell his tales. One of the most respected talents in entertainment, Rickles got his start in the night clubs, toiling for over 20 years, until 1958, when Don made his film debut in Run Silent Run Deep (1958). The movie was a big hit. Afterward, Rickles continued acting, starring in films like X: The Man with the X-Ray Eyes (1963), Bikini Beach (1964), Enter Laughing (1967), and Kelly’s Heroes (1970).
In 1973, Don became a regular on Dean Martin’s Celebrity Roasts. From 1973 until 1984, Don appeared frequently on Dean’s show, paying tribute to some of his friends, like Bob Hope, Frank Sinatra, Lucille Ball, and was even the roast master on the roast for Dean Martin himself.
In 1976, Don his own TV series ‘C.P.O. Sharkey’ (1976), which enjoyed a two year run. After 1984, Don began taking it easy, appearing in a few minor film roles.
