Dermot Mulroney joined Chicago Fire last season as the new Battalion Chief of Firehouse 51, and the actor is taking a break after this season’s 14th episode.
According to Deadline, he will be replaced by Rob Morgan. Morgan will play Battalion Chief Hopkins, who has a long, haunted past in overseeing several Chicago firehouses and is quick to assert authority over his colleagues.
He will first appear in episode 16 until the season finale.
It is unclear why Mulroney is leaving, but I am assuming it is because he will be filming season 2 of The Hunting Wives for Netflix, which is currently in production.
And if I were him, I would do the latter because Chicago Fire has done nothing with his role, and he is so much better than what they have given him.
Will we see Dom Pascal again? We will probably find out over the summer.
Before Dermot Mulroney was into his best friend in My Best Friend’s Wedding, he was into his stepsister in Sin of Innocence. How cute was the 22-year-old in 1986 during his first role?
At the end of last season, Eamonn Walker announced that he was leaving Chicago Fire. And we were left wondering who will replace him.
Today, we found out that Dermot Mulroney has been cast to play Chief Dom Pascal.
Sources told Deadline that his character, “Dom Pascal began his career with the CFD but spent the last decade as a chief in Sunny Miami. Described as a cheerful person who works well under pressure, and whose leadership style differs from Boden’s, Pascal is estranged from his wife.”
I just hope that they don’t make him a bad guy. I am so over that storyline.
Chicago Fire’s 13th season premieres on September 25th.
WHY WE’RE STRIKING: “It’s time for wages to increase. It’s time for more residuals, and it’s time to protect ourselves from AI…” – Dylan McDermott, Dermot Mulroney, SAG-AFTRA #ActorsStrikepic.twitter.com/lLHNrf2g7N
For decades people have been confusing Dermot Mulroney and Dylan McDermott because they look so much alike. The comparison is so well known that it has become a joke.
However, yesterday they came together for a serious cause. They are fighting alongside other actors and writers to get what is fair to them from the studios.
If these two can make a stand side-by-side, then maybe AMPTP will finally come back to the table and negotiate a better contract for everyone.
The longer this goes on, the more it is going to hurt everyone, even those who are not directly involved. I live by four studios, and the whole area is hurting. It is hurting local businesses, other people in the industry, and so on, and we still haven’t fully recovered since the pandemic.
So to the studios, I say, have your CEOs take a pay cut, and let’s get everyone back to work.
Let’s get back to Mulroney and McDermott. Now that Dylan has gone grey, I can finally tell the two of them apart.
Dylan McDermott left Law & Order: Organized Crime to star in Dick Wolf’s FBI: Most Wanted. Tonight was his first appearance on the latter show, so Wolf Entertainment asked his ex-co-stars to record a special for him.
Ainsley Seiger was more than willing to volunteer, and she was so excited to wish her good friend Dermott Mulroney good luck at his new job.
And with that, Seiger is my favorite actress in the Wolf World. And if you consider how many actresses there are in that universe, that is a huge compliment.
