Jeremy Allen White agrees with you that he'd make a pretty good Gene Wilder

“It would be my honor,” White told Today this week, per Entertainment Weekly. Stating that he’d “absolutely” play Wilder if asked, White quickly rattled off some of his favorite roles: “Young Frankenstein is one of my earliest film memories. Blazing Saddles… he’s a genius. It would be an honor. He was a genius. Yeah, I love him. I’ve always loved him.”

Of course, in order for White to install Wilder in his rightful place alongside Bruce Springsteen and Rotta The Hutt in his swiftly growing filmography, he does need someone to actually ask him to do it. (Unless he just wants to spend a couple of days with his hat on the sidewalk outside Grauman’s Chinese Theater, although now we’re basically just doing Jimmy Fallon’s segment producers’ jobs for them.) As noted by EW, the film rights to Wilder’s life are currently held by A Guide To Recognizing Your Saints‘ Dino Montiel, who’s currently working on a script for a biopic project with Love, Victor writer Jeremy Roth.
