Dan Aykroyd is one of the most classic comedic actors of the modern times. From getting his start on "Saturday Night Live" to making his mark in such movies as "Ghostbusters," "Caddyshack II" and "The Blues Brothers," Aykroyd always finds a way to make the audience laugh, be it with his great slap stick humor or sarcasm.

After soaring to fame with Saturday Night Live, Dan Aykroyd built a solid film career. But he's still capitalizing on his early hit, The Blues Brothers (now available in a 25th-anniversary DVD). He serves on the board of the "House of Blues" restaurant and concert-venue franchise, and last year he published a book as his Blues Brothers alter-ego, Elwood, interviewing blues greats.
