Can You Hear the Laughter?: The Story of Freddie Prinze

Having dropped out of high school to pursue a career in standup, NYC native Freddie Prinze (Ira Angustain) wasn't yet 20 when he broke nationally--and landed the lead in the immediate sitcom hit "Chico and the Man." The rush of success, however, couldn't stem his deepening bouts of depression, and he'd tragically take his own life at 22. This effective and affecting made-for-TV biopic tracing Prinze's rise and fall also stars Kevin Hooks, Randee Heller, Julie Carmen, Ken Sylk. 100 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English.
