A delightful piece of trivia today from Roll Call's "Heard on the Hill" column (subscription required).
Reporters Emily Heil and Elizabeth Brotherton note that in the 1993 movie The Fugitive, when U.S. Marshal Samuel Gerard (Tommy Lee Jones) is chasing Dr. Richard Kimble (Harrison Ford) through downtown Chicago during the St. Patrick's Day parade, whom do we see smiling in the parade but Roland Burris!
It just so happens that the scene was shot during the actual parade, and if you watch this film clip, you'll see Burris, then the Illinois attorney general, among those marching. It's about a minute in.
