Piven put another gold star on his lapel this week when he was honored at the 5th annual Columbia College Chicago Impact Awards at the Monmartre Lounge in Hollywood. Geeze. That's quite a mouthful.
Pivvie had some nice words for his native town of Chicago, which you may have noticed was part of that gargantuan awards show title:
"Chicago has in my opinion the best theatre in the world," Piven says. "I miss going to The Piven Theatre or The Goodman and just seeing some great plays. Walking along the beach and seeing the skyline and the architecture or even jumping in a boat and seeing the skyline from the water [is] incredible."
