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.
