    Gene Wilder's Greatest Ever Screen Roles

    The legendary Gene Wilder has passed away at the age of 83. Born Jerome Silberman in Milwaukee in June, 1933, he took his stage name in his mid-20s from the writer Thomas Wolfe’s character Eugene Gant and the playwright Thornton Wilder. Studying with the revered Lee Strasberg, the father of ‘method acting’, and known for his work with both Mel Brooks and Richard Pryor, Wilder will be remembered as one of the truly great comic actors not only of his generation, but of all time.
