From early roles in National Lampoon and Saturday Night Live, Chevy Chase rose to become one of the biggest stars in comedy during the 1980s.
Known for his roles in the National Lampoon Vacation films, Fletch, Caddyshack and Three Amigos, Chevy's career seemed to stall somewhat in the 1990s. However, a memorable role in the cult sitcom Community as the unstable mature student Pierce lifted him back into the limelight, ensuring him further work well into his seventies.
