Welles said this: "My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people." So Candy just nailed it. Love both these guys.

The tragedy of John Candy is that few appreciated how capable an actor he actually was. A superlative comedian no doubt; but few comedians could convey the same weight of emotion, even in overtly comic roles. Part of what made him so memorably funny was the fact that he could make you laugh one minute, and then make you cry the next. Even in the most juvenile roles, his humanity overflowed.

Some actress he worked with said he was a very good kisser. So I guess he had beautiful lips too.

I consider myself so lucky to have discovered John Candy as a 6 yr old living in Edmonton, Alberta (where some seasons of the show were filmed). I've realized, there is not a day that passes that I don't think about John. I can only imagine where he would be today, as he wanted to pursue more serious roles. There will never be anyone like him.

The saddest thing about John is that we didn't have enough time to fully appreciate his talent. I can only imagine how many great things he could've done...😔

I love how Candy never even tried to mimic the voice of the people he played. That's part of his charm.

what a rare talent...we lost John Candy far too soon.

OMG he's spot on!

Watching this on March 4, 2019--the 25th anniversary since John left us. His Orson Welles impression couldn't be beat here or on SCTV which is interesting because other cast members have said Candy wasn't entirely comfortable doing impressions but preferred to focus on his own original characters. He must have seen something infinitely fascinating and hilarious in Welles' larger than life public persona. RIP, John. We still love you.

John Candy's method acting as the Method Actor turned director: Orson Welles? WOW! Nailed the whole thing. Mannerisms and quips! XD

I miss John Candy so much. He was always a class act.

Candy had a presence and a power and he OWNED it. It takes a BIG man to hold such charisma and Candy had it in folds. As SCTV's John Belushi, he was expected to help carry the show on his big shoulders and was more than capable. Big Man, Big Loss.
