  • For years, Chris Elliott has been a go-to character actor anytime a movie or sitcom needs someone to play a character who is extremely weird, annoying, or both, but he hasn’t been making as many appearances in recent years.
    Elliott got his start working on Late Night with David Letterman, and he made a brief return to Letterman’s show a few years ago, where he introduced a few more memorable characters.
    He has continued to work, and he currently has a supporting role on a popular Canadian sitcom, so let’s take a look at what really happened to Chris Elliott.

    "Since the early 2000's Elliot has kept a low profile." 50 IMDB credits since 2000 including 41 episodes of Schitt's Creek. Ex presidents have done a better job of keeping a low profile.

      no, that one was sad because they were both trapped. plus, brings back memories of when I got trapped in a mail order sub with my pops. glad they don't sell those anymore.

    Chris Elliot is great! I'm glad to hear he's doing good. It sucks that the network passed on his own show but sounds like he is having a good life. Nice to hear good stuff for a change.

    If you were to ask me who my favorite actor was as a kid, it would have been Chris Elliott from Get a Life. I always get a nostalgic feeling when I seen him randomly in shows and movies. I'm glad he's getting some recognition here.

  • @Dvp1169
    @Dvp1169 3 роки тому +8

    I loved him on Letterman; I used to watch in the 80s. My favourite was when Chris Elliott would appear as Panicky Guy, Guy under the Seats, and all the other characters he played. You could see how much Dave like his comedy. Loved him on Schitt’s Creek❤️

      I still love the episode where he built the submarine in the bathtub... and Paperboy 2000. It's just like living in outer space!
      Saw "Cabin Boy" in the theater when it came out, bought it on VHS when it was released and again on DVD when I finally ran across a copy. It's still one of my main Go-Tos when I'm feeling down and need a pick me up. Movie is just so much weird-assed fun. :)

  • @TheMarkWilson
    @TheMarkWilson 5 років тому +2

    Cabin Boy was great. I managed to catch it in the theatres the lone weekend it was out and I remember how pissed off people were leaving the theatre and how entertaining it was to see such an intense reaction to an offbeat comedy film.

    I assumed he had health issues when he looked different a few years back. Thought you were going to say he died. I was going to quote his Groundhogs Day character: “I’m really gonna miss him. A lot.” Classic.

    True story-- growing up as a kid in Morocco, my grandparents (where we stayed) only had ONE American movie on VHS that we would watch over and over again: Cabin Boy. Later, as an adult in the states, I was blown away when other people hadn't heard of it/didn't like it.

    Abby Elliot is kind of a third generation SNL cast member; I remember seeing a clip of grandfather Bob Elliot singing a parody version of Rod Stewart's Do Ya Think I'm Sexy? as part of his duo Bob and Ray. I grew up with Get a Life!, but I never saw the alien episode! Also saw Cabin Boy; think as a Blockbuster rental. The whole family is funny!

    He can adapt. I thought his only odd appearance was the restaurant manager in _Nutty Professor 2_ ~ after Cletus Klump chokes on the beef, rips a fart that carries the flames off a birthday cake behind him and catches the curtains on fire, Elliot is there in a second with an extinguisher then tells everybody everything's under control.
