Chris Farley could have given us a unique dramatic performance, if he'd lived to star in a biopic of silent film star Roscoe 'Fatty' Arbuckle.
The Big Picture Despite being on the world's stage for a relatively short amount of time, Chris Farley made a lasting impression as one of the premier comic actors of his generation. Making a name for himself with improvisational performance via The Second City, Farley hit the big time with a five-year run on Saturday Night Live and successfully made the transition to film acting with several beloved roles.
Steadily rising through the motion picture ranks, Arbuckle took over the Comique Film Corporation in 1917, cranking out several short comedy films as director and star. While working at Comique, he arguably made one of his greatest contributions to the film industry when he met a young and unknown performer named Buster Keaton. With a keen eye for talent and a generous spirit, he believed in Keaton as a talent and took a chance in employing the aspiring actor.
With scandalous wheels set in motion, media mogul William Randolph Hurst seized on the incident and published accusatory, lurid headlines about the actor's alleged assault of Virginia Rappe. Though it would later be determined that Maude Delmont had a history of engaging in fraud and extortion, her scathing but unverified testimony against Arbuckle put the nail in the coffin.
Chris Farley Takes Interest In Roscoe Arbuckle's Story By 1997, Chris Farley had rapidly risen through the ranks of fame and show business. As one of the breakout stars of his generation's cast on Saturday Night Live, he gave audiences some of the show's most iconic characters, bringing a level of zany energy and slapstick comedy to the show that hadn't been seen in years.
