John Candy was a funny guy, and he had a big heart. He was one of those talents who was taken away too soon. His most popular and endearing performance came in John Hughes Planes, Trains and Automobiles. He was also part of great comedies from the late 80s like Uncle Buck, Spaceballs, splash and more. He died at just 43. This is a clip from a recent documentary John Candy : I Like Me(2025) , which has some good archival footage from his past interviews and fresh interviewsfrom the actors who were lucky to work with him. Recommended for one's familiar with his movie. #johncandy #tomhanks #melbrooks #primevideo
