The "One Chicago" franchise is scattered, and every once in a while, a character of one of his shows leaves for some reason or another reason. It may be to make room for fresh faces, create drama and tension, or simply because the actor in question wants to test his wings elsewhere. In some cases, this is monumental. Jayei Halsted on Essie Lee Sofer, leaving Chicago PD In 2022 it was a huge moment that took away the show of one of his favorite characters.

Includes one of the best examples Clint Eastwood's son Scott EastwoodWho played officer Jimim Burns in two episodes of "Chicago Fire" ("leaders" and "Let it"). As it happens, these set it for a significantly greater role in the property, which with the episodes acting as a pilot at the back of the spinoff for the law enforcement "Chicago PD" despite this opportunity to get a really solid television gig, though Eastwood did not earn.

"They offered me one of those leading roles and shot in Chicago ... And at the time I was like, I can't do it. I don't want to move to Chicago. I will not sign up for something (for) six and a half years. It's too long. I don't know what I'm going to do for six months now, let alone six and a half years old."
