Who is Willy Wonka?

Origin Gene Wilder as Willy Wonka Wonka was a candy maker who made the most (to barrow a Dahl-isous word) "scrumdiliumcious" candies which were all very unique. He sold ice cream that wouldn't melt, and many other exciting new inventions in the world of candy making. However, his competitors sent in spies and stole some of Mr. Wonka's Inventions. So, one day like any other, Mr. Wonka told all the workers to go home and he closed his factory gates forever. However, not long after that, the factory started up again and Wonka candy started pouring out, but no one had seen the man himself sense the day he closed his factories. However, one day also like any other, an announcement shook the world: Willy Wonka was going to open his factory to five lucky golden ticket winners and their guest for one day.
