Dave Foley, born January 4th, 1963, apparently in Etobicoke, a suburb of Toronto (heh, take it up with that Onion interview ) to Mary and Michael Foley. A tv addict from a young age, dude loved GREEN ACRES (I can't get over that), dropped out of an alternative high school at age 18. He became a movie usher and I think some other stuff, and started doing comedy-- apparently stand-up comedy (now THAT I'd like to see!)-- enrolled in an improv class, met The Kevin McDonald with whom he started the Kids in the Hall, made High Stakes, tried to forget about High Stakes, drank a lot of coffee, got a tv show, drank some more coffee, tv show became a cult hit, drank some more coffee, got married, had a couple of really cute kids named Ned and Basil, tv show ended (and it was a MUTUAL decision, as we know, and in no way Dave's or anyone else's "fault"), drank some more coffee, made "Brain Candy", continued sucking down java, got Newsradio, made some movies that never got released, Newsradio became a hit amongst 10 or 12 very smart viewers and managed to stay on the air for five seasons despite its abuse by the network, drank even more coffee, made "From the Earth to the Moon", a critical and popular success, made "A Bug's Life", a success before it was even released, and drank a pot of coffee or 6 to celebrate his success. And still the moviemaking continues, as Dave becomes a Great Big Hollywood Star with lavish parties involving helicopters and rock stars. He seems to be turning his sights more and more towards directing, which is a treat for all of us, I think. He's getting pilot offers from networks and is writing shows and editing documentaries and appearing in off-broadway musicals and generally involved in lots of cool stuff. Also, he's very BLOND at the moment and seems happy with it. The blond ain't going away any time soon, I don't think. If you're going to cry about it, please do it tastefully out of the public view and where I don't have to watch. :)
