NBC’s “Chicago PD” is currently airing Season 10 and fans are missing Jesse Lee Soffer’s character Halstead who left the show earlier in the season!
The Star returned to set to help with directing duties but hasn’t shared any information that he’ll be returning to the show anytime soon.
Jesse recently teased that he almost made a return on episode titled “Deadlocked,” written by Matthew Brown that aired on February 15.
He shared:
“This was the perfect episode for me to direct. I love this episode because it was like a throwback episode to old-school PD with Voight [Jason Beghe] going off the rails, Man on Fire kind of stuff, vigilante stuff, and living in the gray area off the books. That’s the story we’ve been telling, especially the foil between Halstead and Voight, for so long—it’s something I really know deeply. So to get to do that kind of story with Jason was really fun.
It was like I never left. We were hanging out and we were goofing off, then we’re cameras rolling and we’re working bringing the scenes to life. We have one of probably the hardest working crew and cast in TV I feel confident saying that. It was great to be with everybody.
There are a couple of screens where I thought about being onscreen again. Like, what if I just walked through the background with my back to the camera? Would someone know it was me? There are a couple of scenes where I’m literally right around the corner from where they’re filming, watching on the monitors. So, I am sort of there.”
Wow! We wish he would’ve returned. What are your thoughts?
Chicago PD stars Jason Beghe, Patrick John Flueger, Marina Squerciati, LaRoyce Hawkins, Tracy Spiridakos, Amy Morton, Benjamin Levy Aguilar, and Jesse Lee Soffer.
