Hauser will portray Chris Farley in a film that’s going to be filmed soon. The good news is the movie will have a scent of good taste as it’s being produced by Lorne Michaels, who founded and produces Saturday Night Live and was very close to Chris.

Paul Walter Hauser, the talented actor known for his roles in "I, Tonya" and "Cobra Kai", has been cast to play the legendary comedian Chris Farley in an upcoming biopic.

The character had its debut long before 'Saturday Night Live.'

Beloved comedian was found dead on Dec. 18, 1997.

He also performed three songs during the episode, including the Beatles' "Hey Jude."

Before Mike Myers became synonymous with the green ogre named Shrek, his fellow SNL castmate Chris Farley was actually cast in the role and had recorded about 80-90% of his dialogue. Then, in 1997, Farley tragically died of a drug overdose, DreamWorks was forced to recast the role and, in doing so, radically rethink their version of Shrek. Today, the first footage of Farley as Shrek has popped up online and shows a very different character than the one we have come to know and love.

People assume professional athletes make tons of money and can afford to buy everything and live anywhere. With most, that's true. However, if I have learned anything from VH1, it's from its fine reality-inspired shows about NBA stars and their girlfriends.
