Josh Gad is opening up about his directorial debut in the Chris Farley biopic and how he will be looking to showcase the comedian's knack for universal humor.
Two weeks after it was announced that New Line Cinema had obtained the rights of the upcoming Chris Farley biopic, the production's first-time director, Josh Gad, is offering up a few teases about what fans can expect.
