First making a name for himself on NBC's earliest iteration of Saturday Night Live, Belushi soon became a household name thanks to his manic outbursts, agile physical comedy and frequently unpredictable on- and off-screen personality.
Reflecting on the SNL icon's loss over 40 years later, Belushi's Animal House co-star Tim Matheson fondly recalled his larger-than-life cast member on a recent episode of Still Here Hollywood Podcast with Steve Kmetko.
At the time of Belushi's death, Matheson said he was working on a production of Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew.
“Somebody came backstage after the show and told me what happened and it was so sad and it’s such a loss, because a lot of people don’t know really who he was now,” the West Wing actor said. “He was just such a special spirit. You know um John Landis — the director of Animal House said he’s the Cookie Monster and Harpo Marx together, you know, that’s who he is.”
“It was such a treasure and a pleasure to know him and work with him," Matheson went on to add.
