Gene Wilder

Damn it, 2016. I can’t even really post a pic here, because I don’t want to limit him to one role. Gene Wilder was, legit, a comedic genius. Even though, yes, Willy Wonka as a role looms large for me due to my childhood love for it, the truth is Gene Wilder was great in everything. He was great in good movies. He was great in bad movies. He was great in interviews! And beyond making me laugh, he brought huge amounts of humanity to his parts too.
