John A. J. O’Leksy received his B.A. from the University of Wisconsin. He landed in Chicago 11 years ago and went to work giving tours of the city, as well as commercial work. He can still be seen on T.V. in commercials for American Mattress, and has appeared on the "History Channel" as Al Capone. There was also that print spot for "Altoids - Tangerine Sours" where he appeared dressed, in drag, as Carmen Miranda, complete with hat of fruit (Altoids.com ... don't tell him where you got this info. because he doesn't check this website very often.) Craig Thompson strong armed him back into the theatre, for which John says he is very grateful.
