Hanks met Candy, who died in 1994 at age 43, on the set of his dad Tom's 1984 film "Splash." The filmmaker's favorite Candy role was in the 1990 holiday movie "Home Alone" as Gus Polinski, a good-hearted polka guy who assists stressed-out mom Kate (O'Hara).

Ryan Reynolds has revealed what his son Olin, 2, said to Bill Murray to get him to participate in 'John Candy: I Like Me,' which premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival on Sept. 4.

The Marvel star likens his character to "a blend between Neal Page and Del Griffith," Steve Martin and John Candy's characters in "Planes, Trains and Automobiles."
