John Candy is Bizzaro-Chris Farley. Both fat loveable funny men, but always right down main street, no edges. Chris Farleys go to is the explosive physical punchline, John Candy was all about the soft set-up.
I love how Frank kept trying to derail the flow between Gilbert and Artie in the full length podcast so no one would get in trouble but eventually gave up. 😂
I had always heard that Steve McQueen would sometimes ask directors to cut some of his lines, as referenced here by Martin Landau. Moreover, he was a very fine actor, who could convey a lot of emotion and dynamic range with just his facial expression and body language but needed time and presence on screen to embody his character - often he felt that too many lines sort of got in the way of achieving this end. Most actors by contrast are frequently trying to obtain prominent roles which provide the most lines possible in order to increase their screen time while delivering dialogue. To his way of thinking, having too many lines can actually handicap you as an actor - he could convey a lot with just a look.
Sorry, but I think a film or video tape of Paul Lynde on a drunken anti-Semitic rant would be hilarious. If it were anyone else, you'd want to smack them, but, with Lynde, you just can't hate the guy.
Two quitessential New Yorkers. The city just cant possibly be the same without them. No other city in the world could have produced such pure talents.....her talent was sort of a great compliment to Gilbert's. They will live as long as New York does. And long may it live.
too bad they don't still have it on YT anymore but there was an episode he was on Howard Stern,and really cut loose,saying a LOT more than "those F*ing Jews"......lol :P
All the times i ever watched Letterman, I never really got what Paul's deal was. Like why he was such a big part of the show, or what his history was. I think this helped. Hes really funny, in an old man sort of way, bordering on queeny.
There was also a Benny Hill sketch where he played the part of McCloud,Poirot,and a few other detectives ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-R33Ug51FsnU.html
