Contest: ENTER TV & Media Av Contest: Richard Pryor

Thanks all, for the votes in the Gene Wilder contest.

I think we'll go with Gene's four time costar (would've been five if he'd gotten the part in Blazing Saddles in addition to co-writer): Richard Pryor. Any live action TV or movie role but not one of his stand-up comedy skits or shows.

Normal restrictions apply. 200x200 pixels, 1MB Max. Lets do up to 2x, since Richard had a lot of great roles. Voting thread will go up on 8/11?

I'll start with a little known movie, but a favorite of mine-

Some Kind Of Hero (1982) - as Corporal Eddie Teller (with Margot Kidder)


And another lesser known, but fun movie-

Harlem Nights (1989) - as Sugar Ray (with Eddie Murphy, Redd Foxx, Della Reese among other greats)

 

Richard Pryor and some dude.

Would the concert film, "Live on the Sunset Strip" count?

Here's "JoJo Dancer, Your Life is Calling."

 

I think that's a stand-up act for him, similar to Delirious and Raw for Eddie Murphy. So not really a role.

 

Okey doke.

 

I mean, unless it is a role and not a live Richard Pryor gig.

 

"See No Evil, Hear No Evil"

 

As the Balloon Vender in The Muppet Movie

 

Greased Lightning (1977):


The Toy (1982):

 

The "Star Wars Bar" sketch from "The Richard Pryor Show" (1977)

 

I think I'll let the entry thread go until tomorrow. Still lots of choices available.

 

Anybody else?
