    I saw this reported last night and died a little inside. I usually don't think twice about stuff like this. Everybody dies. Death is undefeated.

    But man, for some reason, this actually hurt me.

    Wilder had such a unique acting and comedy style. A true gem.

    I did see that Gene Wilder's movie The Producers will be on Wednesday night at 8:00 ET on the Movies!Tv Network that some of the Fox Affiliates show as their digital B channel.

    Simply a gifted comedian. Young Frankenstein and Stir Crazy are at the top of the list. Well known for playing that neurotic, yet lovable, character.

    My first exposure to Wilder was in Woody Allen's Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex* (*But Were Afraid to Ask), where he played a doctor who lusts after one of his patient's sheep. The final scene, where he hits rock-bottom, is lying in the gutter drinking from a bottle of Woolite is hilarious.

    Just a couple of his funniest scenes...
