Chicago's TV connection: Our small screen stars

Jennifer Hudson, Danny Pudi, Nico Tortorella, Busy Philipps ... The list goes on and on. Chicago-born, bred or trained actors are all over our TVs. And they just keep coming, it turns out. As the fall 2012 season approaches, I'll be updating this list of actors who were either born in or around Chicago or spent a significant amount of time here. I stuck with actors from scripted series that have aired within the last couple years. I'm sure I forgot many actors, so please leave a comment and I can update the gallery.
