Can't believe it's been that long. I remember he was filming a movie out West when he died. He was a very funny man. RIP.

I've been looking for Cool Runnings to download. Free of course, cause I'm cheap.

Well that's a sad way to enter the weekend. Joe Montana knew his greatness.

Maintain to this day that Plains Trains and Automobiles is one of the greatest comedies of all time.

Saw him in Breaux Bridge back in the late 80's just before the Crawfish Festival got permanently moved to Parc Hardy. He had an LSU t-shirt on and was visiting Dan Akroyd who apparently owned a bed n breakfast type getaway on Bayou Teche. Wasn't drunk or coked up that I could see, but was told by many that Candy liked the candy.

I have zero doubt he would have been able to transition to serious roles over time. Dude could act

Not sure if any roll he did could be as good if somebody replaced him. He was his own. Not many actors can say that.

Very, very underrated actor. He was smooth AF and could go method if need be. I mean he stole the scenes away from Cosner in JFK. Do you have any idea how talented you have to be to make Cosner look second chair? Yeah, dude could flat out act.
