| Originally born in Madison, Wisconsin, Farley attended Marquette University in Milwaukee and then moved to Chicago after graduating. In Chicago, Farley studied at the Improv Olympic on north Clark Street and at Second City (following in the footsteps of his beloved idol and comic genius, John Belushi), where he was first spotted by Saturday Night Live producer, Lorne Michaels. Like Belushi and Dan Aykroyd, Farley jumped from Second City to NYC and used his overweight physique and obnoxious, but self-depreciating humor to become an active member of Saturday Night Live. He made movie appearances in several films such as Tommy Boy, Black Sheep and Almost Heroes before his untimely death in December of 1997 where he was found in his John Hancock penthouse, dead of a drug overdose at the age of 33.
