Jim Belushi, born in Chicago in 1954 and brother of the late John Belushi, learned his craft at Second City and joined Saturday Night Live in 1983 before building a hardworking screen career. He played the tough-cop foil in the buddy comedy K-9 (1989) and the Oliver Stone action drama Salvador (1986), and headlined the family-friendly According to Jim (2001-2009), one of ABCs longest-running sitcoms of its era. He is also a working blues bandleader who has toured for decades. Genial, hoarse-voiced and comfortable moving between comedy and drama, he remains a durable American character actor rather than a marquee star.
