Mel Brooks Biography

Mel Brooks is famous for his over the top comic stylings, often riffing off of other films in a fashion of parody. He often casts himself and good friends in his movies, including Gene Wilder (for example in "Young Frankenstein", which was co written by Wilder). Brooks got his start in entertainment as a stand up comic, then moved to writing for TV, and then to screen plays, directing, and producing.
