David Spade

David Spade has spent decades proving that sarcasm, wielded precisely, is a legitimate art form. He was never the biggest or loudest comic in the room; his whole persona is built on being the smirking lightweight. Yet his chemistry with Chris Farley in Tommy Boy produced one of the great comedy duos of the nineties, and his Kuzco in The Emperor's New Groove remains a masterclass in voice acting. What moves me is that he kept making people laugh after losing his partner so young. That star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame feels earned not by volume but by sheer consistency of wit.
