Chris Farley was a good friend of Bob Odenkirk, like the Breaking Bad Star remembers working with him in the Chicago Second City improvisation company.
In a talk with Peoplehe Better call Saul Star recalled: “I wrote the motivating speaker for him, the sketch ‘van Down by the River'”.
He continued: “In Second City, he had improvisation with me and with everyone in the cast, and we had made an anti -drug demonstration, and played a coach who is essentially Matt Foley.”
“The night after seeing it to make that improvisation, I wrote that sketch exactly how it was done,” added the actor.
He pointed out: “I have written many sketches in my life, and almost none did not need to be rewritten. This did not need to be rewritten.”
Remembering to have made the sketch, Bob said: “Making this sketch … in Second City, every time I did it, I played the father, it was the funniest thing I’ve had in the show.”
“And the other thing that was surprising was that it was the second day of the city, right? This was before any of us were on television. No one knew who Chris was. But at the end of the sketch, four and a half minutes later, everyone knew who Chris was,” the star shared.
In addition to this, Bob sprouted about Chris, “the idea of saying: ‘Well, I saw Chris and I thought I had talent,’ well, also all those who saw Chris. And he was also very adorable. It was very warm. He treated me as if it were a kind of genius, which I am not.”
In 1997, the late comedian died of drug overdose. He was 33 years old.
