Chris Kattan

What I admire about Chris Kattan is that his comedy lived in the body, not the script. Surviving as a Saturday Night Live regular from 1996 to 2003 demands a physical fearlessness most performers never risk, and his Groundlings pedigree shows the craft underneath the chaos. The University of Southern California background hints at a sharper mind behind the goofiness, and the fact that he writes too tells me he understands structure as well as slapstick. I see him as a generous, all-in clown of his era, and I respect performers who give everything to a sketch knowing most of it is fleeting.
