John Candy's son cameos in Ben Affleck's Dunkin' Super Bowl commercial

John Candy's son Chris made a stealth cameo in Ben Affleck's Dunkin' Super Bowl ad: 'He was probably more of a Tim Hortons fan than a Dunkin' fan,' Chris joked about his late father.

I thought it was really interesting that he got the gig with nobody realizing who his old man was. It wasn't a nepo casting.

With the beard he is the spitting image of Pavorotti/John Candy.

They actually were in Spielberg's 1941, but Candy's role was pretty small and I can't even recall if they shared any screen time.

Good to know.

I was thinking it would have been cool to see them in a flick like Bing Crosby and Bob Hope did will their Road to movies - I watched em with my Dad, he loved them, as he grew up on them.

Agreed. They also share a Second City Theater connection, though different troupes, Belushi/Chicago & Candy/Toronto.
