He had some great characters over the years!

Bummer. One of my family's favorite actors. From Willie Wonka to the Producers to Young Frankenstein, his films are among our favorites.

Always wondered why he stopped making movies at the height of his career. I suspected the death of Gilda Radner might have influenced that decision.

I'm always surprised that The Frisco Kid never gets mentioned when people talk about his movies. His character is great and has lots of great lines.
