Christopher Crosby Farley was born on February 15, 1964 in Madison Wisconsin to Tom and Mary Ann. He had two brothers John and Kevin. Chris went to Marquette and studied theatre and communications.

Once he got out of college, he got a job at Second City. In 1990, he was discovered by the producer of Saturday Night Live, and soon got a job as an actor on SNL. While on SNL, he did a lot of famous charecters and impressions, take a look at some of them on my photo page. But he left SNL in 1995 and got into a lot of movies, most of them with his buddy and comedic partner on SNL, David Spade. To see some of the movies that Chris Farley was in go to my movies page.

In 1997, he made a lone movie, called Beverly Hill Ninja, which was extremely successful for him, and I enjoyed it a lot. But later that year, on December 17th, 1997, he died of an overdose of cocain. He was found dead by his brother in his Chicago apartment. This is the main reason that I would never do drugs, because if it was not for drugs, one of my greatest heros would probably still be alive today.

Chris Farley worked on Saturday Night Live for 5 seasons. He had 13, charecters, and 26 impressions. After leaving the show, he came back to host it twice, on 2/10/96, and on 10/25/97.
