Peacock

Charming on stage, insufferable backstage — classic peacock energy.

Chevy Chase built his career on being the most dazzling performer in the room, from his breakout star status on SNL to his Fletch and National Lampoon roles, always projecting effortless cool and superiority. However, his well-documented arrogance, feuds with castmates like Bill Murray and the Community ensemble, and reputation as one of Hollywood's most difficult personalities reveal the peacock's fatal flaw: believing the display is everything. Like a peacock, Chase's beauty and brilliance were undeniable, but his need to dominate and be the center of attention ultimately overshadowed his talent.
