Chicago - Groundhog Day star Bill Murray has agreed to parachute from a plane as part of a special appearance at the Chicago Air and Water Show in August.

A spokeswoman for the Mayor's office of special events says the 57-year-old actor is jumping on behalf of USO of Illinois. The USO groups are non-profit organisations that provide recreation, counselling and other services to US troops.

Murray, a Chicago native, will tandem jump with the Golden Knights skydiving team onto North Avenue Beach on August 15.

Murray received an Oscar nomination for his role in Lost in Translation. His screen credits also include the Ghostbusters movies and Caddyshack.

Other celebrities with Chicago roots who are participating include Gary Sinise. He is scheduled to perform with his band Lt. Dan Band.
