Since he's arguably one of the most famous comedians ever, you probably already know a lot about Mel Brooks. The creative mind behind films like "The Producers," "Blazing Saddles," "Young Frankenstein," and "History of the World: Part 1" really does not need an introduction. Mel Brooks is a household name whose films have become an essential part of the history of comedy, with "Spaceballs" being one of his most enduring efforts. What's even more remarkable is that Brooks has had a fruitful career in the more than three decades since he directed "Spaceballs," in which he also played the roles of the evil President Skroob and Yogurt.
Mel Brooks has been in show business for more than seven decades, each of those being as productive as the last. Following the release of "Spaceballs" in 1987, Brooks continued producing and starring in a number of films such as "Life Stinks," "Robin Hood: Men in Tights," and "Dracula: Dead and Loving It." Additionally, Brooks has spent the past few decades continuing to produce dozens of films, while performing in mostly voiceover roles for animated projects such as "Hotel Transylvania." Recently, Brooks published his memoir, titled "All About Me," and celebrated his 96th birthday with a fittingly hilarious tweet about how he "feels a lot more like 95."
