Fond memories of sweet films;
On the 17th anniversary of your sad passing, I recall films like
Tommy Boy (with Rob Lowe,Dennehy and Dan Akroyd)
Black Sheep (with David Spade)
Fans still love and miss you

Actually, "Almost Heroes" was filmed in July-October 1996..and Chris was very much alive during its filming.

Well you need to keep your trap shut. There are all kinds of different addictions. Do you do you drink do you bet on football games. All of these and more have addictions attached to it. I take anti depressants and have for many years. I've been told oh you don't need those you just need to exercise. Or go to church more or you aren't reading bible everyday or praying enough. Even had a couple of people tell me I was addicted to the anti depressants. We knew I had severe stress and anxiety (for which it was described) disorder. Only to find out 20 yrs later after having two meltdowns in one summer (this was after having to change medications) that I was bi polar and my diagnosis as a kid as add (which most bi polar children are misdiagnosed as well. Look it up) was incorrect. SO would you have called me an addict probably but guess what myself or others who have turned to drugs there could be a whole lot of reasons that you don't know as to why they turned to them in the first place. Please get off your high horse about people and drugs because one day it might be you or someone close to you.

Wow I know this comment is old but what a beep loser you are. If he would have gotten help instead of getting to this point you wouldn't be saying that.
Chris was amazingNuff said.

Yeah, it's a shame a junkie died from an overdose, HOW COULD THAT HAPPEN???
So unlucky.

He didn't get to finish filming "Almost Heroes" when he died and they just cobbled together the only material that they did film with him already which is the reason why it was terrible. The films that he put full creative input into were instant classics and it's a shame that he died.

Perhaps it was a good thing that he didn't. I loved Chris, but his schtick was getting old. His last movie "Almost Heroes" was just awful. He was just re-running the same old thing in every movie.
