This guy played some great parts, too numerous to mention.

RIP Sir

I'm really sad to hear of his passing. He was never the same after he lost his wife, Gilda Radner.

My favorite movie of his was " Young Frankenstein " Many years later, I still laugh when I watch it.



Rest in Peace Gene and thanks for the laughs.
