Why America Needs Chicago Actors

By Jerri Perry


Americans really adore Chicago actors who know how to entertain an audience. Many of these performers are very savvy and they do not take any grief from anyone. They are always able to maintain their humanity on many issues which exist within this world. Dennis Franz, Barbara Bain, Gillian Anderson, Robin Williams, Fred Savage and Sean Hayes are all great performers from this part of the world.

Anyone around knows that Sean Hayes is one funny Illinois man who can laugh at himself and life itself. He never really takes things too seriously and many people respect him for that. The producers of "Will And Grace" knew that they had hired one talented person when he portrayed Jack on this show. Even though he was gay Sean never shared this information with other people.

He eventually talked to "The Advocate" and told his entire life story to them. Months before this coming out story happened Sean went on to star in a Broadway show. Unfortunately the critics wanted a straight man to portray the male lead instead of Sean. The show's leading lady wanted Sean to continue on in this event since she admired gay men.

Sean faced this hatred for quite sometime and this play was put to an end. The friendly male decided to admit his homosexuality to everyone after this event happened. No one really cared about his sexual preference which was a very good thing. Sean produced shows like "Hot In Cleveland" and "Hollywood Game Night" and he even starred in another television series.

"Mork And Mindy" fans really like Illinois citizen Robin Williams and they will watch many movies which feature him within them. He enjoyed playing a space alien named Mork until 1982 when this show was cancelled. It really became outrageous towards the end when Jonathan Winters was cast as Mork's mature son. People could no take the silliness of this television program anymore.

Real life detectives are very intrigued with Illinois born Dennis Franz who gained recognition on "NYPD Blue." Mr. Franz loved to show off his large body to the fans during many episodes. He did not mind being nude if the script called for this request.

Former Illinois resident Jim Belushi wanted to do everything that his late brother John did. John and Jim both starred in "Saturday Night Live" which is aired on NBC in America. Jim also proved to be just as funny as John after some time had passed.

Barbara Bain is one proud person to be part of the Chicago actors list. She gained fame during the 60's when she portrayed Cinnamon Carter on "Mission Impossible." After leaving this series the producers could never find a good actress to replace Barbara. They tried to hire several women to fill Cinnamon's role but every person failed to gain the audience's attention. Barbara was also the only woman to star in this series which featured her husband Martin Landau. Her and Martin finally left the series due to money issues and they both starred in England's "Space 1999."
