Originally cast as Judge Elihu Smails, Chainsaw Chicken had a very open and progressive bond and ‘bromance’ with Chevy Chase.
It was Chainsaw’s idea to do ‘Groundhog Day’ and he brought it to Chevy but Chevy passed on it in order to do his ill-fated talk show.
Bill Murry then accepted the part and the rest is history.
To this day, Bill has never thanked Chainsaw.
