Chris Farley Quotes, Movies, Biography, DVDs and More!

Dedicated to the fond memory and undying legacy of comedian Chris Farley. Chris was the classic archetype of the sad clown character. Smiling on the outside, troubled on the inside. He barelled through life at breakneck speeds, afraid that his demons would overtake him if he stopped to smell the roses. Regardless of his excesses, Farley was, during his time on Earth, the funniest man on it. I've never been more saddened by an untimely celebrity death, and this is for Chris.

Chris Farley is at the top of his game - which includes the usual pratfalls and physical comedy. One of the strong points includes the character of "Tommy Boy". An odd blend of self loathing combined with a charming sense of confidence in himself.

Chris' Page on Rotten.com
The comic portfolio of Chris Farley is not everybody's cup of tea. His characterizations often consisted of bellowing blowhards or perspiring ne'er-do-wells who exploited their larger-than-life carriages with a histrionic, physical intensity not seen since John Belushi, John Candy, or Jackie Gleason.

Chris Farley Remembered 

Quotes from Farley's Friends.

- Comic and writer Al Franken said Farley "was a sweet, big-hearted man. ... He was the most self-effacing comedian I had ever seen."

Chris Farley's Final Hours 

While I regret his loss, we can also learn from it.

Christopher Crosby Farley was one of the most naturally talented and funny comedians in history. Chris once said, "I have a tendency toward the pleasures of the flesh. It's a battle for me, as far as weight and things like that." He had been in rehab at least a dozen times, and was scheduled to go again when he died.

Chris owned an apartment in the John Hancock Building, on Michigan Avenue in downtown Chicago. His last day was Wednesday December 17th, 1997. He spent it primarily with a prostitute who called herself Heidi who was hired for Farley by a friend for $2,000. She joined Farley at a party in Lincoln Park (in Chicago) at 11 AM. There were drugs going around. Later that day, Heidi took Farley back to her apartment - where they continued to... read the rest.
