From an acting point of view, Chicago's shows essentially turn doors that look like the first drama series. Due to the franchise's longevity, the tumultuous pace, often high shares and pure multi-series scale, the lead roles of the various "Chicago" plays have always had impressive turnover. Sometimes important characters like Elias Koteas' Alvin Olinski on Chicago PD And Otis of Yuri Sardarov on "Chicago Fire" shockingly came out Property because the story requires it. Other times, the actors decide to give up the long, intense recording periods in Chicago before their series begins even really, which is like Scott Eastwood left a franchise in Chicago After appearing at the Chicago PD pilot in the Chicago Fire Season 1.

Even in the midst of all these changes, the franchise has a lot of "lives" - actors who have been on the show from the beginning and become so connected to their proper series that it is difficult to imagine the show without them. Hence, when one of these people leaves, it's a big deal that guarantees an explanation. Take Nick Gelfus, who played by Dr. Will Halsted on Chicago Honey for an impressive eight seasons before retiring from the show in 2023. Gelphus clarified the situation of Diversity That same year, declaring that it is simply time for him to go on:

"It was a difficult decision, but after all, I felt that I would take Dr. Halsted as far as I can go with him. I think it comes down to the creative part of you, or the energy or spirit you have that you have built for a very long time with one person or not.

Nick Gelphus did not appear in any movie or TV show because it left a franchise in Chicago. However, the absence of screens of all sizes does not mean that he did nothing. On the contrary, he chases that creative variety he mentioned by hitting the stage ... In Chicago, of course.

During his days "Chicago Med", Gelphus congratulated the iconic theater company "Steppenvolf" of Chicago and, as an actor, dreamed of being on stage. In the beginning of 2025, he understood that dream with the adaptation of the company to Sam Shepard's "Love for Loveubov", playing the male lead Eddie. As he said Playbil:

"I am above the moon, on Cloud Nine and beyond, for playing Eddie in Steppenvolf, Rockin Theater known for its sincere storytelling. I studied ”A fool for Loveub's' to college. It is a tour that requires the athlete's way of thinking, because Shepard intended to be relentlessly and without a break. Eddie bears the sins of his father, living the life of tragedies he does not fully understand. He is drunk and female, with complicated family relationships. Dude can use a good therapist. "

Being a TV cralch in Chicago may not make an actor too much progress in the hands of ruthless theater critics, but Gelfus didn't need anything. "Fool for Loveubov" has earned audit reviews, as well as his energetic performance as Eddie. Now, when the bug scene was bitten by the former Starval "Chicago Mon", who knows where to see next?
