Chris Farley.. John Candy too, but not as much as Chris Farley..
Friends and family both often commented how my energy and comedy style often were very similar in nature to Chris Farley, and I often thought of him as a kindred spirit of the goofy fat guy making people laugh. I often think of John Candy that way too.. I'm often amazed and amused by what comedians will do to make people laugh and entertain -- Comedians easily go in drag, wear funny outfits, get dirty, get nasty, just about anything you can think of.. all for the entertainment. In my mind, they're the fearless ones, willing to do almost anything.
Chris Farley's death was a huge blow to me. I'm sure if I'd been old enough, John Belushi's death would've hurt even worse.
