Community's Cast - Where Are They Now?
7. Chevy Chase
Now we’re into the real Greendale Seven. Chevy Chase was undoubtedly the biggest star going in to the show, playing doddering and politically incorrect old man Pierce Hawthorne.
His time on the show was unfortunately cut short though, as he disagreed with the way his character was made a villain and would have huge rows with showrunner Dan Harmon. Neither he nor Harmon have a fantastic reputation for playing well with others, so it seems like an unstoppable force meets an immovable object type situation.
Despite having left the show under a could and being 76 years old, Chase has continued to act regularly. He appeared in Hot Tub Time Machine 2 with Gillian Jacobs, showing he hadn’t fallen out with the entirety of the cast, just Harmon.
That was followed by Vacation with Ed Helms, Chris Hemsworth and Christina Applegate, as well as Bobby The Hedgehog, Christmas In Vermont and Dog Years.
Most of the movies he’s been in do seem like pay cheque movies where he’s trading on his name, but at this stage in his career, who can blame him?
He’s still Chevy Chase, and you’re still not.
