1) If you’re an avid viewer of the show, then you’ll know part of the reason Jason Beghe’s character of Sergeant Hank Voight seems so intimidating is due to his graveled voice. It wasn’t always that way though. His gruff tone was caused by being intubated after a near fatal car accident in 1991. Thankfully, he healed up from the breaks to a couple places on his back, ribs, and neck — and his unique voice has definitely helped bring Voight to life.
2) Jason is best friends with actor David Duchovny. He een guest starred in 13 episodes of Duchovny’s Californication, and was the best man at David’s wedding to actress Tea Leoni.
3) Jason was a follower of Scientology for quite a few years, but disbanded from the organization in 2007. His journey with Scientology was chronicled in the 2015 documentary Going Clear.
4) The One Chicago franchise isn’t the first “Chicago” show Jason has been on. He did a 4-episode guest spot on the medical drama Chicago Hope back in 1997 & 1998. Other notable credits include: Thelma & Louise, Everwood, and Safelight
5) His character of Hank Voight has appeared on 5 of Dick Wolf’s shows. Beghe’s character originally recurred during season 1 of Chicago Fire back in 2012; which then segued into PD in 2014 as the spin-off. He also appeared on Chicago Med, Chicago Justice, and Law & Order: Special Victims Unit as Voight.
