约翰·坎迪

John Candy was one of those rare talents. He was beloved, a true icon of 80s/90s comedy. Born in Newmarket, Ontario, Canada, on October 31, 1950, he got his start in Toronto's famous Second City comedy troupe. *SCTV* was his breakthrough, and that ensemble - Eugene Levy, Catherine O'Hara, so many great talents - really shaped his early work. His film career exploded in the 80s. *Splash* was a massive hit. Then, collaborating with John Hughes, he created these enduring characters. Del Griffith in *Planes, Trains and Automobiles* - that's the Candy magic right there. He wasn't just a big guy doing slapstick; there was a real vulnerability and heart underneath. He possessed a rare ability to blend comedy with genuine human emotion, which made his performances so compelling. His work in *Uncle Buck* also demonstrates this. Dying young at 43 while filming *Wagons East* was a tragedy. "John Candy: It's Me" - there's a documentary there, I'd wager. It's a testament to his enduring popularity. He left behind classics like *Cool Runnings*, *Spaceballs*, and that memorable cameo in *Home Alone*. Candy was more than a comedian; he was a gentle giant who filled the screen with warmth and humor. He was a significant figure in Canadian comedy who went on to define an era in Hollywood. His legacy continues to influence and inspire. 【英文名】John Candy 【性别】男 【生日】1950-10-31 【出生地】加拿大安大略省纽马克特 【职业】演员、编剧、喜剧演员 【头像】未知 【人物简介】 约翰·坎迪是好莱坞影史上最受爱戴的喜剧演员之一，他以魁梧的身躯、温暖的笑容和极具感染力的幽默感，在二十世纪八九十年代的银幕上留下了不可磨灭的印记。坎迪出生于加拿大的一个天主教工薪家庭，早年在多伦多的“第二城”即兴喜剧团磨炼演技，并凭借在电视综艺节目《SCTV》中的精彩表现崭露头角。在《SCTV》期间，他不仅展现了精湛的模仿天赋，还多次获得艾美奖编剧奖项，为他日后的影视之路奠定了坚实基础。 进入好莱坞后，坎迪凭借在《美人鱼》中饰演汤姆·汉克斯那个爱惹麻烦的兄弟而大放异彩，随后开启了他的黄金时代。他与导演约翰·休斯的合作堪称影史经典，尤其是1987年的《飞机、火车和汽车》，他饰演的推销员德尔·格里菲斯虽然话多且令人抓狂，但其内心深处的孤独与善良被坎迪演绎得入木三分，这部作品也成为了感恩节主题电影的巅峰之作。此外，他在《巴克叔叔》、《凉快跑吧》以及《太空炮弹》等影片中均有出色表现，甚至在《小鬼当家》中客串的波尔卡乐队领队也成为了影迷津津乐道的经典角色。 坎迪的表演风格独特，他并不依赖单纯的扮丑或低俗笑料，而是通过敏锐的观察力捕捉小人物的辛酸与温情。他拥有罕见的亲和力，这种“温柔巨人”的特质让他即便在出演一些粗鲁的角色时，也能赢得观众的同情与喜爱。在影视行业中，他被公认为是最勤奋且慷慨的合作者，对加拿大喜剧文化在好莱坞的推广起到了至关重要的作用。 遗憾的是，1994年3月4日，坎迪在墨西哥拍摄电影《东方快车》期间因心脏病发作猝然长逝，年仅43岁。他的离去引发了整个影视圈的深切哀悼。正如纪录片《约翰·坎迪：我喜欢我》所回顾的那样，他的一生虽然短暂，却用纯粹的快乐治愈了无数观众，他那充满人性光辉的喜剧艺术至今仍具有深远的影响力。
