Christopher Crosby Farley

Chris Farley - American comedian, quickly paved the way for fame. Breaking into the cinema, the actor managed to loudly declare himself, worked with famous artists and demonstrated outstanding talent. However, the rise was as bright as the subsequent fall.

Christopher Crosby Farley was born on February 15, 1964, in Madison. The boy grew up in the company of three brothers and sisters. My father was a businessman and his mother was a housewife. Parents provided education, thanks to which all children have found a purpose in the field of art. Farley attended a Catholic school before moving to Madison High School. After receiving his certificate, he went to Milwaukee to fulfill his dream.

Chris dreamed of acting. He began to master the future profession at Marquette University, becoming a student of the "theatre and television network" direction. In 1986, the guy received a diploma. At first he worked in his father's firm, but soon left the business for the sake of the stage.

Chris Farley was not a supporter of putting his personal life on public display. It is known that the comedian had a wife and two children. The success of talented actors is often accompanied by doubts and self-doubt. This was evident in Farley's desire to get rid of excess weight. The artist weighed 136 kg at the height of 173 cm and tried to lose weight 17 times. The demand has also brought harmful habits like drug and alcohol abuse. Chris could not cope with these shortcomings on his own.

The first creative refuge of the artist was the comic troupe Ark Improve. After a while he received an invitation to cooperate from the second City Theatre. Here was a fateful meeting for Farley with Lorne Michaels, producer of the television program "Saturday Night Live." Performing on one of the shows, the actor attracted the attention of several directors. He was given a job in the movies.

The debut roles of the performer were comic and farcical, which quickly provoked the interest of the public, because, as you know, it is more difficult to cause laughter than tears. Among the artist's colleagues were Chris Rock, Adam Sandler and Rob Schneider. From 1994 to 1995, Farley lived on television and barely returned to work in theatre productions. During this period he participated in comic shows. The audience was particularly fond of the miniature dance with Patrick Swayze, known as the Chippendale Dancers.

Realizing that he enjoys success, the artist decided to link the biography with the movie. The niche of television seemed to him not so spacious. The first roles of the artist were secondary. He began to learn a new direction with an episodic appearance in the film "Wayne's World." Depicting on the screen an atypical fan of hard rock, who suddenly became a star, Farley helped the film to collect at the box office the amount, 9 times its budget. The producers decided to shoot a sequel. The heroes of this picture organized their own club and festival. In the finale of the film on the screen appeared musicians of the collective Aerosmith.

The actor went on to star in Egghead, followed by passing roles in Empty Heads and Billy Madison. In 1995, the film "Tommy's Hair" premiered, in which the artist got the main role.

Chris gained wide fame and recognition after the release of the film "Ninja from Beverly Hills". The image of a good-natured full hero had the audience and helped to gain new fans. The picture told about how an ordinary snout, brought up in the ninja clan, went to the U.S. after the girl. Participation in the filming of the film earned Farley a nomination for the MTV Award for Best Comedy Role.

The artist's filmography turned out to be small. It featured roles in TV series and feature films. In 1998, after the death of the actor, the project "Almost Heroes" was released. In it, Chris Farley played one of the main roles. His partner in the frame was Matthew Perry.

Having realized the dream, which originated in his youth, Farley could not overcome the temptations. On 18 December 1997, he was found dead in his apartment. The cause of death was an overdose of speedball. The tragic news was reported by the artist's younger brother. Five days later, a funeral was held, attended by Chris Farley's eminent work partners.
