    I remember him better as Baron Von Frankensteen, and the Waco Kid, very very funny, great comic timing! RIP Gene!

    I read somewhere that the part of the Waco Kid was offered to John Wayne first. I can't picture him doing the part though.

    RIP Gene.

    His portrayal of Willie Wonka had the right balance of dark and light in the character.a true genius.

    RIP Gene Wilder
