3. Chris Farley. Even if you’re not old enough to remember Farley’s heyday on Saturday Night Live, you’re no doubt familiar with many of the iconic characters that he brought to the show. There’s also the slew of movies that he released, none more universally loved than Tommy Boy, which was released in 1995. Unfortunately for us all, Farley battled and ultimately lost to his personal demons, passing away at the age of 33 in 1997.
