Alexander Siddig is about as un-Chicago as it gets, but that picture of him next to Rahm Emanuel is downright freaky. It could work. Wow.

He once boasted that he was a shoo-in to win a race unless he was "caught in bed with a live boy or a dead girl." Not sure who I'd cast, though.

Edward Norton could do him, of course, but Patrick Fugit bears an uncanny resemblance and could handle his school years through 30's.
