an actor best know for his work in the original "Willy Wonka and the chocolate factory", also for his work with producer Mel Brooks in films like "Blazing Saddles" and "Young Frankenstein". He is also AMAZINGLY funny!
Person 1: Do you like Johnny Depp as Willy Wonka or Gene Wilder?

Person 2: Gene Wilder all the way!

A generally awesome actor. He passed away on August 29th, 2016.

He is most known for his role as Willy Wonka in the 1971 film, Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Unlike what a certain OTHER USER said, he is NOT a tool, and did NOT play a "pseudo-pedophile."

I would even compare him to Mr. Rogers.
"Gene Wilder did a phenomenal job in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory, don't you agree?"

"Yeah! I like the remake too, but Gene Wilder ftw!"

"Do you like Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka better than Johnny Depps?"

"I'd say both are good!"

Best known for his portray as a pseudo paedophile with a love of comedy midgets aka Oompa Loompas and chocolate.
Notable for bad hair under pressure and a tendency to randomly burst into song.

Often found masquerading (albeit very poorly) as an Investment Banker with a distinctly 1983 line in drainpipe trousers teamed with excessively pointy loafers.

In summary, a complete tool.
J Lindsay looks just like Gene Wilder with that crap haircut
