Hey Dan. Thanks for the trivia lists on John’s younger brother. Belushi has had a very solid career….as the 60 movies listed above show. His movie career has slowed down over the last few years as he seems more interested in some outside Hollywood businesses. Most frequent Oracle co-star is John Candy with 6 movies. 22 Oscar winning co-stars is decent but probably below average. Good stuff as always. FYI – I have seen 29 of the 60 movies listed…just under 50%.
