Chris Farley

Manic comedian who worked hard and played hard amidst his rising success as a cast member of Saturday Night Live (from 1990–95) and in slapstick movies such as Beverly Hills Ninja (1997) and Black Sheep (1996). Farley, who carried as much as 300 pounds on his 5'8" frame, had prodigious appetites, and succumbed to an accidental death related to drugs at the age of 33.
