No love for John Candy?

I loved John Candy! From SCTV to the big screen....he was great.

funny you put bobcat goldthwaite on there because the very first actor I thought of before I clicked the thread was:



he may have only been known for police academy but his annoyed smarmy face, unaware he's about to be dumped right in it by Mahoney at any given moment, sums up the 80s for me.  

[Swamp Thing]
