In this tragic excerpt from The Chris Farley Show, a new biography co-written by Chris's brother Tom Jr., the drama of larger-than-life comedian Farley's last year is told through stories of friends, family, and co-stars like David Spade, Chris Rock, and Brian Dennehy. The death of the 33-year-old came after many stints in rehab and continual relapses, and kept Farley from completing what many believed would be his best work: a dramatic role as Fatty Arbuckle, and one as the voice of Shrek. Eventually played by Mike Myers, Farley's original Shrek was a character not unlike himself, "born of frustration and self-doubt" with an undeniable good-heart and a lingering sadness.
