Mike Bacarella
 
Just about every movie and TV series shot in Chicago has included this character actor, who has played more than 150 television and film roles. A hefty, blue-collar guy with a Ditkaesque mustache, Bacarella specializes in Chicago people and accents.

Getting his start in 1979 as a John Belushi's photo and stunt double in The Blues Brothers, Bacarella recent credits include The Fugitive (a computer nerd on Tommy Lee Jones' FBI task force), Rookie of the Year (bleacher bum), a hostage on "Chicago Hope," and a janitor in My Best Friend's Wedding, as well as roles in Soul Food (1997), The Relic (1997), While You Were Sleeping (1995), Miracle on 34th Street (1994) (Santa), Richie Rich (1994), Major League (1989), Bright Lights, Big City (1988), The Untouchables (1987), Johnny Dangerously (1984), and many more.
