[QUOTE=want2know] Jack from the Shining? Chris Farley [/QUOTE] Actually, this could be brilliant. A lot of comedians have a really dark place inside them. Robin Williams, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler…and Chris Farley. There’s a lot of hate and rage and despair and self-destructiveness in a guy that can eat and drink and drug himself to death like Chris Farley did. I could totally see him as a guy whose facade of normality gets slowly stripped away by insanity. ---
