Ep.179: Chris Candy (Actor/Improvisor/Musician/Director) to promote John Candy: I Like Me
I had a great chat with Chris about his father John Candy and the new documentary John Candy: I Like Me. We talked about John and the story of the making of the documentary and then got into Chris’s own career in acting, improvising, and talked about his history of his long musical path starting with playing in punk bands. We also talked about how Richard Lewis looked after Chris and but and Chris meeting and chatting with Martin Short. Chris is a great guy and was a pleasure to chat with.
