Superman III
Chi più spende... più guadagna!
Richard Franklin Lennox Thomas Pryor III (Peoria, 1º dicembre 1940 – Los Angeles, 10 dicembre 2005) è stato un comico, cabarettista, attore, sceneggiatore e produttore cinematografico statunitense. Come cabarettista era celebre per il suo modo diretto e senza compromessi di trattare tematiche scottanti quali discriminazione e razzismo, ricorrendo ad un linguaggio talvolta scurrile per illustrare il suo punto di vista. Viene ampiamente riconosciuto come uno dei più importanti ed influenti comici di sempre: Jerry Seinfeld lo definì "il Picasso della comicità" mentre Bob Newhart lo indicò come "il comico più influente degli ultimi cinquant'anni"; Bill Cosby affermò che "aveva reso la linea di confine tra commedia e tragedia così sottile da renderla indistinguibile." Nel 2004 la rete Comedy Central lo ha classificato al primo posto come miglior comico statunitense di tutti i tempi. Wikipedia
