Though one of the most talented, gutsy and truly strange comics of his generation, Dick, 33, is most famous as Hollywood's angel of death. The NewsRadio star was a friend of Brynn and Phil Hartman's, went to Vegas strip bars with actor David Strickland the night he killed himself and had comic Chris Farley as an addiction-group sponsor. Dick recently completed his second stint in rehab and is awaiting judgment later this month for a DWI he received after crashing his car into a tree and trying to flee on foot.

The perspective pervaded his late-blooming career. After leaving SNL in 1994 and despite landing a deal with NBC to star in his own sitcom, Hartman chose to join the underrated ensemble show NewsRadio in 1995, a project he continually...

In a chat on America Online last year, Hartman said, "I'm kind of at an intermediate level of celebrity, where pretty much everybody knows who I am but I haven't had the big breakout role that will take me to the next level.
