Watched JFK the other day and loved John Candy in his cameo as Dean Anndrews Jr. I have heard that was how Andrews really was. Not sure if true. Whats the boards opinion on this? Showed some range from Candy and not just a comedian actor.

John Candy did the best job nailing the person he portrayed. Looked like him and looked like him.

Love John Candy but there are a few cringe scenes in Cool Runnings

I remember vividly waking up on a weekend morning as a kid learning that John candy passed away.

Candy was one of my favorite comedic actors. He excelled in that genre but did show a talent for the more serious side of acting in some roles.

Every time I watch "Wagons East" I laugh at his antics, but the reality that he died while in Durango, Mexico when the were wrapping up filming brings reality to it about how short life can be for some folks.
