# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Born June 15, 1954, James Adam Belushi followed his older brother John into comedy, landing on Saturday Night Live from 1983 to 1985, just after John's death. He moved into film with roles in Thief, Trading Places, Salvador, and Red Heat, then found a formula in buddy-cop comedies like K-9 and Taking Care of Business. The real anchor came later: According to Jim, a sitcom he carried for eight seasons from 2001 to 2009, playing a suburban everyman. He kept working in smaller films and TV through the 2010s, including Good Girls Revolt and Wonder Wheel, and remains active with Song Sung Blue set for 2025. His son Robert is also an actor.
