This episode of American Crimes we take a look at the silent film era's highest paid actor in Hollywood, Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle. The interest was piqued when a connection was made years ago between Chris Farley, and John Candy being slated to portray Arbuckle in a bio-pic. We end up finding out about a huge scandal within the life of this comedic pioneer. Fatty Arbuckle was truly ahead of his time, and a perfect outline for physical comedy in todays world of humor.
