Sure, but in the '80's', Hanks was a comedian - that's where he got his start. Interestingly enough, he's one of just a couple here that didn't come from SNL. Martin was never a cast member even thought he hosted alot, right?

Right.
I believe, until recently - he had the record for the most SNL hosting gigs...
I think Alec Baldwin might have him beat now...
But yeah - Martin was never an official cast member.
And I don't think John Candy was either.
He was part of SCTV - but I don't recall him actually making the SNL jump...

What I meant was that he was an actor who started off in comedies whereas the rest started out in standup. Mind you, some of his early stuff, like Bachelor Party, can hardly be called acting.

A Whorehouse might have zero value, but I mean, you do know that those orphan kids are just gonna grow up to be wanker chavs who will throw you off trains right?
