Chris Farley
Chris Farley was an American comedian and actor known for his loud, physical comedy style on Saturday Night Live in the early 1990s.
His signature characters included motivational speaker Matt Foley, who warned of living "in a van down by the river." Farley appeared in films like *Tommy Boy* and *Black Sheep* before dying of a drug overdose in 1997 at age thirty-three.
His name sometimes evokes a particular style of sweaty, full-bodied comedic performance.
