Richard Franklin Lennox Thomas Pryor (December 1, 1940 – December 10, 2005) was an American comedian, actor, and social critic.

 He reached a broad audience with his trenchant observations and storytelling style.
 He is widely regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comedians of all time: Jerry Seinfeld called Pryor "The Picasso of our profession" and Bob Newhart heralded Pryor as "the seminal comedian of the last 50 years".
 Dave Chappelle said of Pryor, "You know those, like, evolution charts of man?
 He was the dude walking upright.
