Before Chris Farley would light it up in the '90s appearing on
Saturday Night Live alongside close pals Adam Sandler, Chris Rock,

of 33 in his Chicago apartment, In his all-too-brief career, Chris
Farley created hilarious characters that have stood the test of
time. For me, as a child The White Ninja, Tommy Boy & his SNL
appearances were must know and everyone would have a turn trying to
do their best impression of his brilliance. Even in smaller roles
Chris always managed to steal the show. Beginning in the Midwest,
Farley moved his way through the Chicago improv and sketch comedy
scene at IO and Second City. He broke through as a cast member of
Saturday Night Live in 1990 before landing roles in several iconic
big-screen comedies. Behind the clown, there were plenty of
personal demons and struggled with both drug and alcohol abuse. He
was in and out of rehab more than a dozen times within a two-year
span. We got lots of info in and tidbits even die-hard fans won't
know like his future projects that were in the works including him
voicing the character of Shrek before his passing.
