Known for...


Newsradio — surprised it isn’t mentioned. I’m not sure if it was the apex of his career but he was the lead.

He played astronaut Alan Bean in my favorite segment of the HBO miniseries "From the Earth to the Moon". It was the story of Apollo 12, "That's All There Is."

Kids in the Hall here. Everything else was just secondary.

Exactly. Glad they're doing a new season, hope they still have that magic.

KITH is already listed. But he is probably better known for his lead role in Newsradio, which is omitted, than his supporting roles in some of the movies listed.

Are you speaking of here? It's certainly listed on his IMBD page. His filmography is over 150 credits, so I think there are quite a few missing. Kids in the Hall has a new season coming out, so it's probably listed first because of that, but as a Canadian of a certain age, Kids in the Hall will always be the first thing Dave Foley is known for.

I’m referring to the profile for Dave on Moviechat.org — the very site on which we are posting. Under his name, photo and bio there is a “Known For” section which contains a list of credits which omits “Newsradio” but includes some of his lesser movie roles.
