.JesseLeeSoffer promises 'old school' ChicagoPD episode ahead of directorial debut
March 22, 2023 - 23:54 GMT Rebecca Lewis Chicago PD fans will get to see Jesse Lee Soffer's directorial debut on Wednesday March 22, as the actor returns to the NBC franchise, five months after his last appearance as Jay Halstead. Jesse, who was with the show for over 10 years, confirmed he had quit in August 2022, and his last scenes aired in October 2022.
"I was like, 'This is gonna be great because it's an old school PD episode.' This is a throwback to how the show started - so I was really excited about that," he said. "I was terribly nervous beforehand - you can ask anyone - I was like, 'Oh God, this is crazy. What have I gotten myself into?'" the 38-year-old shared. "But everyone there knows the show so well and everyone at some point has 'directed' a scene here or there, given a note to a guest star to help something, change blocking or fight choreography for the camera to simplify. We're all doing that constantly so that was kind of seamless [for me].
"I know PD really well and I know what's fun about our show and what's exciting about our show and how gritty it is, the living in the gray area of right and wrong, and all that stuff and, and so I knew how to walk all those lines because it's what I did day in and day out.
