RIP Gene Wilder. One of the GREAT ones! If you’ve never seen him in the old movie “FRISCO KID”...watch it..he was amazing!

That was my favorite movie of his, I think it is an overlooked gem. RIP Gene.

Too old school for people under 35!

When he worked with Richard Pryor, it was always insanely funny!

I seriously think the last time I saw him in a movie was at a drive-in in the real early 80s.

Indeed, mine too. And that unknown guy that was in it with him...Harrison Ford...best thing he ever did.
