Some have even called him “unbearable” to work with. Despite this reputation, Chase has had a successful career in Hollywood and is still considered a comedy icon by many. However, his behavior has caused some to question whether his talent is worth the trouble.

“I love all of the vacation movies too (and the Three Amigos!) I actually think he’s hilarious but there are just too many awful stories about his crappy behavior.”
Jared Leto
Reports have surfaced of his method acting approach, which includes staying in character even when the cameras aren’t rolling, making him challenging to communicate with on set.
