Gene Wilder is awesome.

They've got Young Frankenstein on cable right now, which I normally wouldn't watch since I have on DVD. But I'm bored.

Anyway, pretty much everyone in this movie rules. They have a tremendous cast. But Gene Wilder is pretty consistently grat, and that's what I was thinkig of: Froedrick Fronkensteen, but also Jim (The Waco Kid), Leo Bloom, Willy Wonka, even as Richard Prior's straight man in "See No Evil, Hear No Evil."

I've seen him in a few other things, too, but that's the short list that came to mind. I love the guy.

Post your praise for him here.

ya I'm sad he quit

How about Eugene Grizzard in Bonnie & Clyde? Not one of his better-known roles, and he's overshadowed by Beatty, Dunaway, and Hackman, but he's amazing in that movie, too. One of the most underrated comic actors ever, imo.

I love him whenever he teamed up with Mel Brooks, especially. He does the "man four steps away from unhinged" thing perfectly.
