Ralph Wesley Foody (November 13, 1928 – November 21, 1999) was a character actor. He has several screen credits from the 1980s, but is probably best known for his bit part in Home Alone and its sequel as stereotypical 1930s mobster "Johnny" in its meta-film Angels with Filthy Souls and its sequel Angels with Even Filthier Souls (both are a parody of Angels with Dirty Faces), "Cragie" the alcoholic and negligent Chicago cop in Code of Silence, as well as the police dispatcher in The Blues Brothers. He died of cancer in 1999.
