"I like to take long walks by
the water, go horseback
riding, go out on a frierid's
boat, read really long books
and go up North."

"I've been playing a lot of
basketball and traveling.
Summer is the best time to
see concerts and movies."

"Besides getting married
next week, I like lying in the
sun, playing tennis, going
out and having fun."
very now and then, Jon
Glaser gets a "Wow, Pm on
the same stage" flash.
Last month, the 26-year-
old actor began working six days
a week on the main stage of the
Second City in Chicago. His per-
formances grace the same stage
that those of comic icons Dan
Aykroyd, John Candy, Jim
Belushi and Martin Short once
did.
"Having the opportunity to be
a working actor is something I'm
thankful for," Mr. Glaser said.
"This is a great chance for me to
do my own work. It is so re-
warding to see an audience en-
joy what you are doing."
Mr. Glaser, formerly of Farm-
ington Hills, began his latest
stint as an understudy for one of
the actors who left Second City
last month to work for HBO. Mr.
Glaser will perform until the cur-
rent show, Are You Now, or Have
You Ever Been Mellow, is fin-
ished. After that, he will remain
with the Second City but not on
its main stage. He has not been
given a final show date.
As for what's next, it will be
something with Second City —
but he does not know where.
Mr. Glaser equates the Second
City hierarchy in the Chicago
area to professional baseball, re-
ferring to where he is now as the
major leagues. The touring com-
pany he began with almost two
years ago he calls the minors.
The other two Second City the-
aters there are higher up in the
minor league system.
"The best-case scenario is I
could move up, maybe to a the-
ater in the (Chicago) suburbs,"
he said.
As a member of one of three
Second City national touring
companies, Mr. Glaser traveled
around the country.
Right now, a typical perfor-
mance for Mr. Glaser includes
acting in a series of skits written
by him and the six other per-
formers. Improvisation, where
audience members give per-
formers words to incorporate into
an unscripted scene, follow the
skits.
"People have different notions
about improvisation," he said. "It
is not about jokes, it's about cre-
ating a scene."
Mr. Glaser said his passion for
acting dates back to his child-
hood.
"I always wanted to be like
Robin Williams," he said.
CONSIDERED OUTSTANDING BY WIFE BAYLEE SHULMAN
AND
Jon Glaser: Performing at Second City.
In college, Mr. Glaser attend-
ed the University of Michigan,
where he was involved with Just
Kidding, a U-M comedy club. Af-
ter graduation, the group took its
show on the road, performing at
colleges around the country.
In 1991, Mr. Glaser was the
first runner-up in the Certs/U.S.
Concepts College Comedy Com-
petition.. During the finals, he ap-
peared on stage before Jerry
Seinfeld.
In the future, Mr. Glaser
"plans to be a successful actor."
He has been in commercials, but
not on television or in the movies.
He would enjoy doing either one,
although his favorite is theater.
"I love theater," he said. ❑
