The Big Picture It can be hard to wrap your head around how fast time moves, but somehow Chris Farley left this earth over a quarter of a century ago. On December 18, 1997, the comedic genius passed away at only 32 years old. He left fans heartbroken and wondering how his acting career would have gone. He'd already been cast as the lead in Shrek and seemed destined to become an ever bigger star than he already was.
If you loved his antics in five-minute bits on SNL, you have got to see him do his shtick for ninety minutes. Farley did more than fall over though. Tommy Boy is filled with some heartbreaking dramatic acting from him as well, a hint of what could have been. The next year came Black Sheep, where Farley and Spade reunited for a film that, while successful, felt like an uninspired remake of Tommy Boy, with Farley back to acting like a simpleton in the name of comedy.
So, what was supposed to be a happy, fun, lighthearted little comedy was anything but. Its two leads were struggling, and before the movie ever even came out, one of them was gone. Almost Heroes ended up not being a fun time at the movies, but a wake, a way to say goodbye to Chris Farley six months after we'd already tried to mourn him.
