I can't tell you what was right about John Candy or what was wrong. But he was my friend. This is a guy who the minute you see his face you're going to smile. Even though John did distinctly different characters, John was always there. He was so presentable and gentlemanly and so Canadian. He was a total actor because he was a total person. He was a kid, actually. He was a child.
