Yes, he was a hell of a comedian. I remember watching Hear No Evil See No Evil when I was really young, and I loved. And of course he was great in Superman III. He really paved the way for the new style of comedy, the more grittier true to life style. I'm sure he will be missed.

not only that but he was one of the first black people to actually have demands made.

he was able to negotiate with people for things where as before that. many black people could not. he started to establish that. :o

can't wait for the movie.

he and gene wilder seemed to be a good pair. like in blazing saddles :wub:

He wasn't in it he was a Co-Screenwriter for Blazing Saddles. He was in Superman III with Christopher Reeves. But the movie your thinking of is Stir Crazy.
