Ryan Reynolds and Colin Hanks have teamed up to honor one of the best actors we lost too soon , with the documentary "John Candy: I Like Me." Hanks knew the Canadian comedy legend personally as a child and directed the doc, which is now streaming on Prime Video. It recounts the remarkable life of the comedy great, who passed away in 1994 at the age of 43. Among the esteemed contributors to the project are Steve Martin, Bill Murray, and Dan Aykroyd, who was a friend of Candy and appeared alongside him in several movies. Actually securing his involvement, however, proved to be tricky at best.
/Film's Ethan Anderton attended a Q&A following the Chicago screening of "John Candy: I Like Me," where Reynolds recounted how he managed to get the "Ghostbusters" star on board for the doc. Evidently
