JFK - Dean Andrews Lunch Scene

[@theseageek]

This scene was the solid proof that John Candy wasn’t just a comedian, he’s a solid actor.

[@dalehoward3704]

Most comedians are excellent actors, since comedy is a the most difficult in the acting field supposedly. Camby didn't surprise me with this masterful performance 👍

[@LordZontar]

Maureen O'Hara certainly thought so of him. During the making of Only The Lonely, O'Hara and Candy developed a close rapport with one another. She compared him to Charles Laughton and advised him that he should rely much more on his acting talent rather than always being just the funnyman.

[@naysayer1238]

[@shyjames83]

John Candy’s son remembered that the ONLY time his father ever yelled at him and his sister was while he was preparing for this role and Candy later told friends the reason he was sweating so much in this scene was because he was so nervous. It meant SO much to Candy to prove he could play a serious role in a serious film...and he did. Thanks Oliver Stone for giving him the chance!

Its odd, but comedians (Not all obviously) are quite good at playing dramatic roles. Hell, Tom Hanks started out as a comedian actor and look at all his Oscars. Robin Williams, same deal. Would have been nice to have seen where John would have taken his career had he lived longer.

[@gocsa]

I STRONGLY believe that he would have gone on to have a lor more dramatic parts later in his career and truly knock the audience off their feet. Maybe even earn some big awards too. He had the talent to do it but sadly barely had the opportunity to show it while he was alive. His small part is JFK and even Only the Lonely is proof that he could do drama just as good as comedy.

[@DemonBoy3223]

That would've been really cool to see, hell, if he had lived and been more serious about, he'd probably had won an Oscar at some point.

[@quinnrollen]

John Candy literally owns this pivotal scene so intensely and yet delivers it with such ease.

[@JarrodFrates]

As others have mentioned, this scene was *not* easy for him. The sweat on his face is very real, and despite multiple attempts, they could not get around it. As a lifelong comedic actor, he was terrified of doing dramatic acting around professional dramatic actors. The sweat was nervous sweat, and while it works for the scenes, it was neither makeup nor special effects.
