Gene Wilder's Blurbs |
About me:
I am a comedic actor, my celeb name is Gene Wilder, i caught my first big break playing a small role in the off-Broadway production of Arnold Wesker's "Roots" and followed quickly with my Broadway debut as the comic valet in "The Complaisant Lover" (both 1961), for which I won the Clement Derwent Award.
My other Broadway credits included "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" (1963, with Kirk Douglas), "The White House" (1964, with Helen Hayes), and "Luv" (1966), but it was a 1963 Broadway production of "Mother Courage and Her Children" that altered the course of my life forever.
In its cast was Anne Bancroft, who was dating Mel Brooks at the time, and the relationship established between the two men eventually led to me becoming part of Brooks' "stock company." My Actor's Studio connection may have helped land my first feature, Bonnie and Clyde (1967), in which I drew much favorable attention in a small but memorable role as a frightened young undertaker abducted by the legendary duo.
I performance as the endearingly frantic Leo Bloom in The Producers (1968) kicked off my celebrated collaboration with Brooks and garnered me an Academy Award nomination as Best Supporting Actor.
My career gained momentum as I played a swashbuckler in Start the Revolution Without Me (1970), the candy impresario of Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory (1971) and a sheep-smitten doctor in Woody Allen's Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Sex * But Were Afraid to Ask (1972).
I reteamed with Brooks for the inspired lunacy of Blazing Saddles (1974) and Young Frankenstein (1974), earning my second Oscar nomination for my first-time screenwriting efforts (along with Brooks) on the latter. Spurred by these triumphs, I made my directorial debut (in addition to acting and starring) with The Adventure of Sherlock Holmes' Smarter Brother (1975).
