Hank Voight leads with force, fear, and authority — but Jason Beghe lives by an entirely different code. The Chicago P.D. star has spoken openly about creating a home built on empathy, emotional honesty, and grounded discipline.
Beghe’s parenting rules are rooted in protection: protecting his children’s privacy, their emotional development, and their sense of normalcy. He keeps technology limited, values real connection, and avoids placing his career on a pedestal at home. To his sons, his fame holds little weight — a fact Beghe embraces.
Most notably, he emphasizes vulnerability over aggression. Beghe believes that teaching children how to communicate, reflect, and express emotion is far more powerful than intimidation. It’s a philosophy that stands in sharp contrast to Voight’s worldview.
For fans, learning about Beghe’s off-screen life reframes his performance entirely. The grit, control, and intensity that define Voight are balanced by a real-life commitment to compassion — proving that the man behind the growl may be far more thoughtful than his character ever allows.
