Gene Wilder RIP

What a pleasing actor he was over the years. The first time I saw him act was as a doctor throwing caution to the winds with an Armenian sheep. His talent was clearly extraordinary.

He was my hero. I still use his lines and dry wit every day in class, “OK! We have so much time and so little to do...wait! Strike that. Reverse it. Thank you.”

Damn, you are, of course, quite right. The local paper's "most viewed today" column brought it back and I wasn't thinking. I'm quite sure there are now two RIP threads for the chap which is quite fitting - let me check...

Well, He's always good for a re-visit.

Several of his films are on m list of the ones I will stop and watch when I come across them while channel-surfing.
