You’d bring back

 

[bsaltyman]

Kobe and Farley.

I’d like to think of you save Kobe you also save the others in the helicopter, including his daughter.

 

[CloneFanInKC]

Add Lane Staley to this discussion and I’m at an impasse

 

[cytor]

Sounds like we need individual threads for comedians, musicians, athletes, actors, etc...

 

[dahliaclone]

25 years ago i would have said Farley and Williams probably.

Now I'd bring back Ledger and Murphy. I think they were both insanely talented.

Or just names on the pictures.

 

[Al_4_State]

Hedberg and Farley.

Love Cobain, but I love him never having made a ****** album more.

 

[Al_4_State]

And Weiland IMO

He lived long enough to know his best work was behind him.

 

[Clonehomer]

If we’re adding musicians taken too soon, let’s add Chris Cornell to that list.

 

[NorthCyd]

Kobe and Farley.

Kobes daughter would probably be a superstar in women's college basketball right now and her dad would have been a huge ambassador for the sport. Terrible human tragedy, but women's basketball also lost a lot that day.

I think 6,8, and 9 were the ones who had their careers cut short the most. I suppose I would go with 6 and 8 of those 3. Love Farley but after Tommy Boy it was getting pretty rough.

You're not wrong about that. But it was right in the midst of when he was at the height of his struggles, making all those really bad movies.

Farley is one of those comedic actors who I think could've made the transition and done brilliantly in dramatic roles. Similar to guys like Steve Carell (Foxcatcher), Jim Carrey (Truman Show), Robin Williams (Goodwill, Dead Poet's), even Bill Murray (Lost in Translation). Others might not agree, and I know it's probably hard to picture, but I think Farley was a massive talent, would've had the range, and had the genuineness and soft nature that would've made him pretty compelling in a dramatic role.

I agree. Farley was a genius and I enjoy his movies more than Heath Ledgers in general. I'm not even much of a Heath Ledger fan, but his career peaked after he died. His portrayal of the Joker was so brilliant I really would like to see what else he would have done in his career. I would pick him just to see him play that role one more time.

Farley was in the same addict/therapy group as my cousin at Hazelton up here way back in the day. Cousin said he was incredibly nice.

Black Sheep is on occasionally and it's terrible but he still has some great moments.

And I'll stand strong on Almost Heroes.

I think on a different path he could have been in serious rolls and with more longevity.

 

[ricochet]

Initially I was going to go with Robin Williams and Chris Farley but on second thought I decided to not bring back anyone whose death was suicide or drug related. I know those can be the result of mental illness and are certainly tragic and generally way too young but I decided to go with accidental deaths. That leaves me Kobe and I'm not sure who because I don't know who some of the people are. As other people mentioned, I'll take his daughter as the second if she doesn't get included with Kobe. Actually, I'd take her first and Kobe second.
