Gene Wilder RIP

Post by spot »

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.
