Jack Black isn’t fat enough for consideration. He’s literally like half the size of Farley or Goodman in their prime fatness.

Much hespect, especially the Ip Man scene.

Jack Black doesn't deserve to be mentioned in any capacity except on a list of actors that are great supporting cast members but should never get more than 20 minutes of screen time. He isn't fit to hold Candy's hoagie.

Jack Black in High Fidelity was pretty good

especially that last part when he sings Lets Get in On
edit: I agree w/ others, he works best as a side guy (think Tropic Thunder) rather than the main star

Usually, but Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny is awesome, and so is the HBO series. That alone puts him above Hill and James. But yes, he is no Farley, and certainly no Candy or Goodman.

if Vincent Donofrio 'counts', then he has to be up there too

I know he's probably borderline on the 'fat' criteria

Orson Welles.

In a comedic role, John Candy.

 

[Kraysla]

Belushi in Animal House. I liked Farley in Tommy Boy, but Candy has the better body of work, film wise.

Brendan Gleeson?

 

[Oh_snap_its_steven]

How about Joey Diaz???

I mean, I only saw him in the longest yard but I thought he did great in his role as big tony

 

[Cantona7]

John Goodman didn’t watch his friends die face down in the mud for you to leave him off this list.

You want a toe? He can get you a toe by 3 o clock this afternoon. With nail polish.

 

[Aegon Spengler]
