It's true!! Roald Dahl originally wanted Spike Milligan to play the part of Willy Wonka in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. And as much as I like Gene Wilder I really have to go with Dahl on this one. For those of you who are familar with Spike Milligan's work from television, movies and the books he has wrote you should know that Milligan was completely mad. Brilliant and mad. Which would have made him the perfect Willy Wonka.
I'm actually thinking about working on a Willy Wonka sketch using my Spike Milligan as the model for the character. I will be certain to post it on this blog so stay tuned.
