Chicago Actors Live A Good Life

By Liliana Mills


America has some of the best Chicago actors around. These are very intelligent individuals who have become very successful at their craft and they will always get the best roles. Robin Williams, Harrison Ford, John Belushi, Jennifer Beals, Michael Madsen and Mr. Mandy Patinkin are all gifted celebrities.

Everyone around knows the name of Harrison Ford. People have even named their children after him because of his greatness. He is someone who worked in the carpentry field in this city for many years before striking it big. Mr. Ford decided to go into the movie industry when he realized that his manly good looks could make him a fortune. Unfortunately some crazy director tried to force him out of the entertainment field but Mr. Ford decided to stick to his dreams. He proved this director wrong after playing Hans Solo in the movie "Star Wars" which won him the respect he truly deserved.

He then went on to further fame by playing Indiana Jones in several "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" movies. So far this gentleman is one of the highest paid entertainers in the business and he is still quite popular at the age of seventy. He is still making great movies and sometimes his films will earn more money than some younger stars who are in this business.

Robin Williams started his career as part of a comedy team who did many great shows within the city. His live performances were always a huge hit in the late 70's and early 80's. Mr. Williams gained even more recognition when he starred in his own television series "Mork and Mindy." After the show was canceled he started to take roles that were more serious in nature. "Dead Poets Society" was one of his greatest movie roles.

John Belushi was one person that was born to be funny. Everything that he appeared in turned into instant gold and everyone loved his charisma. He got his real television break with "Saturday Night Live" in the 70's which made him a bigger sensation. Unfortunately he died from a drug overdose in 1982.

Mandy Patinkin is a great singer and stage performer who has been around for some time now. He is a native of this great city and has always had great pride for it. He has also starred on several television series and was lucky enough to appear with Barbra Streisand in "Yentl."

"Flashdance" introduced the world to a talented woman by the name of Jennifer Beals. She was barely out of high school when the producers cast her for this important film role. Ms. Beals went on to star in other top projects and found later success on cable television.

Chicago actors really know how to make the entire world take notice of them. Michael Madsen is another proud citizen in this city who always got his kicks out of playing the villain. His sister Virginia is also a very talented lady.
