 "Basically, I only play one character; I just play him at different volumes." Chris Farley (February 15, 1964 — December 18, 1997) was an American comedian and actor famous for starring on Saturday Night Live from 1990 to 1995. He, Adam Sandler, David Spade, Chris Rock and Rob Schneider, were known as "the Bad Boys of SNL".Some of his most famous sketches included "The Chris Farley Show", where he'd nervously interview the guest hosts, the "Zagat's Guide" sketches in which he and Sandler played wife and husband respectively, the "Coffee Commercial" sketch in which he plays a short-tempered customer, and the "Chippendales" sketch in which he danced off with guest host Patrick Swayze. His characters on SNL included Todd Connor of the Superfans, Bennett Brauer, one of the "Gap Girls" and, most notably, motivational speaker Matt Foley. His celebrity impressions included Newt Gingrich, Meat Loaf, Roger Ebert, Hank Williams Jr. and Gen. H. Norman Schwarzkopf.Farley appeared in a number of movies, which included Wayne's World, Wayne's World 2 (as a different character), Coneheads, Airheads and Billy Madison. After he left SNL, he would star in such films as Tommy Boy and Black Sheep, both of which starred him with Spade, Beverly Hills Ninja and Almost Heroes.Sadly, he suffered from drug addictions and obesity throughout his career. He died tragically of a drug overdose in 1997 at age 33, eerily the same age and under similar circumstances as another SNL alum, John Belushi, who Farley was said to have idolized.Farley's last film, Dirty Work, was released after his death, and also dedicated to him.Tropes applying to Chris Farley:
