Chicago native Koldyke rebounds from the dismal 2012 ABC comedy "Work It" to costar in the upcoming sitcom "Back in the Game" opposite Maggie Lawson and James Caan. Koldyke wasn't always an actor; he used to teach English at Providence-St. Mel High School and coach football at DuSable High School.
Update: "Back in the Game" has been canceled.
