  1. Hey Dan. I have seen 9 of his movies….only missing Dirty Work. Seems with the recent passings of Norm McDonald and Bob Saget that I have been hearing about Dirty Work a lot lately. Hard to believe that this year will mark the 25th year since his passing. Thanks for checking out this “almost new” page.

  2. Have seen all 10 of his movies. My favorites were when he was teamed with David Spade, Chris always got the girl. Almost Heroes was one of my worst films of 1998. I’ve seen his brother Kevin in a number of films.
