The late, great comedian/actor Chris Farley’s life was short-lived, but now his life has been made into a documentary called “I am Chris Farley.” Chris Farley had a fast and quick rise to stardom when was introduced to Saturday Night Live in 1990.
In 1997, when Chris was just 33 years old, he died of an unfortunate overdose.
In 2013, the official Chris Farley Facebook page announced that this documentary was starting production and left his fans awaiting the release.

The documentary is scheduled to air on Spike TV on August 10th, but the first trailer teaser was just released to entice us into watching.
“Success in show business does not always create the best version of people,” Bob Saget warns in the film.
The film will feature the peers that Chris worked with in SNL back in the 90’s like Adam Sandler, David Spade, Mike Myers, Bob Odenkirk and it also will include his own family members too.
They will air some of his acts that he performed on stage and his infamous character aka his alter ego, Matt Foley.
“You can’t walk around being funny all the time. You have to be yourself sometimes, and you have to be alone sometimes,” Odenkirk says.
