Chicago Fire’s newest recruit is no stranger to the Dick Wolf Universe.
Fresh off Wolf’s one-and-done Prime Video procedural On Call, Brandon Larracuente has joined the cast of the NBC firefighter drama as a series regular for Season 14, Variety reports. Character details are being kept under wraps.
The addition of Larracuente follows the departures of series vets Jake Lockett (Sam Carver) and Daniel Kyri (Darren Ritter), who are not returning as series regulars this fall.
In addition to his role as On Call officer Alex Diaz, Larracuente’s previous credits include Dr. Danny Perez on ABC’s The Good Doctor and Emilio Acosta on Freeform’s short-lived Party of Five reboot.
