Gene Wilder is probably more famous for his roles in Blazing Saddles, Young Frankenstein, and Willy Wonka -- but my favorite film is Silver Streak.
The scene in the restroom of the train station with Richard Pryor painting Wilder in blackface with shoe polish in order to have his pass as a black guy is perhaps one of the all time funniest scenes in movie history.
Watching See no evil, Hear no evil tonight because I can use a couple of good laughs after working 12 hours today. Wilder and Pryor may be 2 of the funniest men of all time.

Gene was a great actor and had an infectious grin. Paired up with Richard Pryor they were one of the greatest acting duos of all time.

He will be missed- One of the most iconic comedy actors of all time.
