Wilder Quit Acting Over Bad Roles
Movie veteran Gene Wilder has officially quit acting to concentrate on writing novels and memoirs - because he's sick of the projects he's getting offered.
The Young Frankenstein star hasn't appeared in a film for over 15 years and hasn't acted at all since playing MR STEIN in sitcom WILL + GRACE - and doesn't think he ever will again.
He says, "The things that I'm offered, so much of it is based on the 'f' word and the mother 'f' and the 'f'ing' and 'f you' and all that, or special effects or obvious sex."
