I just read that Richard Pryor passed away today. I know a lot of people will remember him as the foul-mouthed comedian who inspired many great (and some not so great) comedians throughout the years, but I will always remember him from his roles in The Toy and Brewster’s Millions. When I was younger I watched those movies more times than I can remember.

Just so long as you don’t remember him for the disaster that was “Superman III”!
I love his older performances… but after I saw his work in “Harlem Nights,” Richard Pryor was elevated to “demi-god” status to me. It was nice to see he hadn’t lost one iota of talent after all those years!
