It was unclear if the film could be completed, Goodman said. Born and reared in Toronto, in last year's Candy "Cool Runnings," a hit film about the Jamaican bobsled team. He had a small part in the comedy blockbuster "Home Alone. " He appeared in the 1991 drama "Only the Lonely" and the comedies "Stripes," "National Lampoon's Vacation," "Splash" and "The Great Outdoors."

The sentimental story showed that despite being a slob, Uncle Buck was in fact a loving guardian. While he often played obnoxious characters, friends and colleagues said he was reserved and g. "I've never been very comfortable talking about myself," he said in a 1991 interview with The Associated Press. "John Candy was a gentleman and a great comic talent," Martin said. "I count myself extremely 1987 film lucky to have had the opportunity to work with him." Before his prominent parts in the hit comedies "Stripes," "The Blues Brothers," "National Lampoon's Vacation" and "Volunteers," Candy was a fixture on the cult hit television series "Second CityT.V." Canada's rendering of the "Saturday Night Live" format brought Candy two Emmy Awards. He wrote and performed in comic skits with such performers as Dave Thomas, Eugene Levy and Rick Moranis. The show ran from 1976 to 1983. On it, Candy impersonated Julia Child, Orson Welles and Shelley Winters, among others. His char acters included Johnny LaRue. Dr. Tongue and polka fanatic Yosh Schmenge. Born Oct. 31, 1950, Candy began acting in high school but planned to become a journalist. He started getting bit parts in plays and radio and television shows, and in 1972 joined Second City, the Chicago-based comedy troupe whose alumni include John Belushi, Bill Murray and Mike Nichols. He captured his first professional job as a member of a children's theater group before getting small roles in Canadian films. At 6 feet, 3 inches, Candy at times weighed up to 275 pounds.
