He prefers to do family-oriented movies, suffers from a fear of snakes and runs five miles a day to stay fit and healthy.
He likes it when people enjoy his work, but dislikes the lack of privacy within show business.
He was sued by Cary Grant for saying that Grant was a homosexual during a talk show appearance. The case was settled out of court.
At 6' 4", he was the tallest original cast member of Saturday Night Live.

He appeared in the music video and sang in the choir on the song "Voices That Care." He appeared alongside Paul Simon, who is one of his best friends, in the music video "You Can Call Me Al," in which he lip-syncs all of Simon's lines.
He was roasted by the New York Friar's Club on September 28, 2002, though the occasion was notable for the near-total disconnect between the subject's career and the list of performers who agreed to appear. The televised version was considered so joyless and leaden that Comedy Central decided not to re-air the special again.
Chase's fanbase abandoned him, as illustrated by three consecutive films from his later period: 1991's Nothing But Trouble, 1992's Memoirs of an Invisible Man, and 1994's Cops & Robbersons. The three releases grossed a dreary $34 million in the U.S., combined. Even the durable Vacation series ground to a halt, following the apathy that greeted 1997's Vegas Vacation installment, the only one without the National Lampoon imprimatur. Some of the more recent movies starring Chase (i.e. Vacuums, Rent-A-Husband, Goose!) have not been released in the United States.

He was a great comedian back in the day.
Those were the golden years of SNL. Caddyshack also saw a great preformance!

I'll have to get it on DVD. Not as cool as Caddyshack, but still a classic.

how old is he ?
e.g. Kevin Bacon is 1958. so old !
it's scary how fast time runs, some good actors grow old and pass away.

Born October 8, 1943 which makes him 62. He started on SNL when he was 32. Most of his success was in his late thirties/early forties.

He was the drummer a couple of times for what he called "a bad jazz band" - the college band "The Leather Canary". The band also included Walter Becker and Donald Fagen. That band became Steely Dan. He has perfect pitch, which is a musical ability to remember the exact frequency of a note.
