Chicago Actors Are All Over The Globe

By Jayne Rutledge


Sometimes it is great to know many of the Chicago actors since they are all across the globe. Many of the entertainers are never from California which is very surprising to human beings everywhere. These people did not come from wealthy families and they had to work hard at their craft. Many big named directors and producers tried to hold them back on many occasions.

Bill Murray is one man who is proud of his Illinois upbringing and he has achieved so much success during his lifetime. People everywhere remember him from the television show "Saturday Night Live" before he moved on to bigger and better things. He has had a long movie career and was even nominated for many awards.

Jennifer Beals comes from a very mixed background since her mother is Caucasian and her father was black. This young woman struggled all of her life since she had a diverse history. She finally became famous when she starred in a movie named "Flashdance." After the film became successful Ms. Beals went on to other projects.

There is no other actor on Earth like the incredible Harrison Ford. This man will make major dollars for any studio whenever his name is featured on a film. Americans have come to know this windy city resident over the past few decades. They will see his "Indiana Jones" movies over and over no matter how silly the plot may be.

Harrison was always proud of his Illinois heritage and he tells everyone about his struggles while growing up. He almost gave up on acting when a producer stated that he really had no talent. This made him more determined than ever to be the best thespian around.

A person who grew up watching Mickey Mouse will certainly know the name of Walt Disney. Mr. Disney gave the world many memorable princess characters that still stand strong in this century. He is the founder of Walt Disney World and his family currently owns ABC television in America.

Jennifer Hudson was always the very fat girl in her neighborhood while growing up within this windy city. After she gained attention from the television show "American Idol" her career quickly accelerated. She has now slimmed down and was a major player in the motion picture "Dream Girls." Her family was murdered by her sister's ex-boyfriend.

John Belushi was one of the most famous Chicago actors living in New York City. He was featured on "Saturday Night Live" for many years and had a great movie career going for him. Unfortunately he could not stay away from drugs and alcohol like many young performers in America. His life was cut short after a drug overdose. John's life was similar to the late great Chris Farley who also died from drugs. There are other great performers such as Joe Mantegna, Mandy Patinkin, Tom Berenger, the late Michael Clarke Duncan and Robin Williams who share this terrific area. All of these people have something wonderful to offer this world.
