John Candy was a beloved Canadian actor and comedian, born on October 31, 1950, in Newmarket, Ontario. Candy rose to fame as a member of Toronto’s comedy troupe Second City, where he became a standout on the sketch show SCTV in the 1970s.
His warm, approachable humor and knack for playing endearing, often bumbling characters won him widespread popularity. This led to a successful film career in the 1980s, with roles in classics like Stripes (1981), Splash (1984), Planes, Trains and Automobiles (1987), and Uncle Buck (1989).
Candy’s performances often blended humor with genuine heart, making his characters both memorable and relatable. In Planes, Trains and Automobiles, for example, he starred opposite Steve Martin as the well-meaning but intrusive salesman Del Griffith, delivering one of his most iconic and critically acclaimed roles. Known for his versatility, he also appeared in the satire Spaceballs (1987) and the holiday favorite Home Alone (1990).
Tragically, Candy passed away at age 43 from a heart attack while filming Wagons East! in Mexico in 1994. Despite his early death, Candy’s impact on comedy endures, and his films continue to entertain audiences around the world.
