“I Am Chris Farley” Trailer For Documentary Released [VIDEO]

Chris Farley was a comedic genius, who, as many, left us far to early. Farley debuted on Saturday Night Live in 1990 as a relatively unknown, brass, heavy-set comic. As a member of "the bad boys of SNL", along with Adam Sandler, Chris Rock, Rob Schneider, and David Spade, he became a household name in his 5-year stay at SNL.

During his time on SNL, Farley had roles in the comedy films Wayne's World, Coneheads, Airheads, and uncredited in Billy Madison. After Farley and most of his fellow cast members were released from their contracts at Saturday Night Live following the 1994–1995 season, Chris began focusing on his film career. His first two major films co-starred his fellow SNL colleague and close friend David Spade. Together, the duo made the films Tommy Boy and Black Sheep. These were a success at the domestic box office, earning around $32 million each and gaining a large cult following on home video.

Directed by Derik Murray, the upcoming documentary, I Am Chris Farley includes interviews with “SNL” co-stars Adam Sandler, David Spade, and Molly Shannon as well as the show's creator Lorne Michaels.
