Actor Michael Urie Visits


A new show in town looks at fame -- and the isolation that sometimes comes with it. Actor Michael Urie may best be known for his television roles such as ABC's "Ugly Betty," where he played the catty assistant to Vanessa William's character. Theatergoers know him for his work on and off Broadway. He joins us on Chicago Tonight to talk about his new Chicago comedy show Buyer and Cellar about being Barbara Streisand.
