Connolly’s passion for sharing laughter has included fundraisers for causes such as recovery, Lupus and MS. He has performed in comedy clubs such as Zanies as well as the infamous Stateville Prison as a member of the “Comedy Faith Outreach” program.
He has appeared in more than 25 TV series, movies and national commercials. He can be seen in the hit series NCIS, Vegas, Boss, Parks and Recreation, Mob Doctor and Chicago Fire.
