Gene Wilder biopic


This needs to happen and Simon needs to play Gene.

Wow, I thought I was the only one who sees this. His actions and voice reminds me so much of Gene Wilder. If they ever do a Biopic of Gene he would be perfect.

THANK you! Someone who agrees with me! :D I would love to see him do a Gene "screen scream". Those always made me laugh the hardest.

Gene Wilder looks like Paul Newman, next to this ugly F&&&.

reply

Yes yes yes!!!!! I just watched Florence Foster Jenkins tonight and the minute I saw him on screen I couldn't help but see him as Gene!

Same here this evening! Love the resemblance both in appearance and mannerisms.

Came here to post the same thing. If a biopic ever happened hed be the only choice to be play Gene.

As far as I am aware, Gene Wilder (wonderful though he was) never won any beauty contests. Two of the things he was known for were: (1) his phenomenal talent; (2) his blue, blue eyes.

Simon Helberg qualifies on both counts.


Dr. Franklin, what sort of government have you given us? A republic, if you can keep it.

Perfect response.

Wow I never noticed until now but yes, outside of the Wolowitz character he does bear a striking resemblance and with the right makeup and hair he'd be a dead (no pun intended) ringer.

reply

Seems fitting considering I've thought for the longest time that Nicolas Cage resembles Mr Wilder.. and of course a coincidence it is because Simon Helberg has been known to resemble Mr Cage.
