Gene Wilder

Tonight the cable station TCM is airing an interview with Gene Wilder, one of my favorite actors of all time. Wilder is responsible for creating some of the most memorable characters in cinema history, and it's a shame that he hasn't worked more in the last couple of decades.

Personally, I think Milwaukee should construct a statue for its native son Wilder, rather than a fictional character.
