Definitely one of my favorite actors of all time. I googled to remember the name of the Stir Crazy movie and was surprised at how many movies he was in with Pryor.Oh boy. RIP. I LOVED gene wilder growing up. Young Frankenstein, blazing saddles, Willy wonka of course, and the movies with Pryor too like stir crazy.
Same. His Skip Donahue character in Stir Crazy probably gets lost a bit because of his more epic performances, but he was great in that movie.Oh boy. RIP. I LOVED gene wilder growing up. Young Frankenstein, blazing saddles, Willy wonka of course, and the movies with Pryor too like stir crazy.
Don't forget Juan Gabriel...This has to be the alltime famous people dying year.
Ali
Prince
Bowie
And now
Wilder , I can't ever remember this many people that have had and impact on me culturally dying.
A phrase used often here.I SAID GOOD DAY, SIR!
Did not realize that phrase was from Wilder.Sad about his passing.
But I missed him even before after his disappeared from movies.
Saddened even more that he struggled with Alzheimer's and that hits home to me.
This SOB was in so many great comedy classics.
And he was MOTHERFUCKING WILLY WONKA!
I SAID GOOD DAY, SIR!
RIP.
Oh yeah.Did not realize that phrase was from Wilder.
