The Departure That Shocked Fans
Chicago Fire fans were hit with a wave of mixed emotions when it was announced that Michael Bradway, who played Jack Damon, would not return for Season 14. After appearing in 17 episodes, his absence marks another major cast shakeup in the series.
From Firefighting to Flirting
Bradway won hearts as Severide’s half-brother, a firefighter still navigating the heat of Engine 51. But he’s now diving into a very different genre. The actor will take on the role of Charlie Florek in Every Year After, an Amazon Prime romantic series based on Carley Fortune’s bestseller Every Summer After.
A Promising Future Beyond Fire
Fans may mourn the loss of Jack Damon on Chicago Fire, but Bradway’s new opportunity promises greater screen time and a lead role in a genre with a passionate fanbase. With book-to-screen adaptations dominating streaming platforms, this could be a career-defining move.
