For over a decade, fans of Chicago P.D. have known Sergeant Hank Voight as a man haunted by the ghost of his late wife, Camille. While the character has been single throughout the series, a long-standing rumor has recently resurfaced in 2026: that the woman we see in the show’s most emotional moments was actually Jason Beghe’s real-life partner. The truth is a haunting blend of reality and fiction that proves just how much of himself Beghe has poured into the role of Voight.
The mystery was finally solved when eagle-eyed fans and show historians pointed to a specific moment in the series that blurred the lines between Jason’s personal life and Hank’s tragedy. While Angie Janu, Jason’s ex-wife, was never a regular cast member, she did technically “step onto the set” in the most intimate way possible. The home movie footage of Camille Voight seen at the end of the emotional episode “Now I’m God” is actually real-life footage of Angie Janu. By using personal video of his then-wife to represent the love Voight lost, Beghe anchored the character’s deepest trauma in a very real, lived-in reality.
This creative choice explains why the scenes involving Camille’s memory always felt so raw and authentic. At the time of filming those early seasons, Jason and Angie were still married, and their real-life bond became the visual shorthand for the “one great love” that defined Hank Voight’s backstory. While Angie is a fellow actress, she never took on a traditional guest-starring role or shared a scripted scene with the Intelligence Unit, choosing instead to remain the silent, symbolic heart of Voight’s home life through these carefully curated glimpses of the past.
The fascination with Angie’s “presence” on set has grown in 2026 as Jason has become more open about his journey as a single father following their 2020 divorce. The fact that his real-life family was woven into the fabric of the show during its formative years adds a layer of bittersweet irony to the current Season 13 arc. As Voight continues to struggle with the “ghosts” of his past, fans now know that those ghosts aren’t just played by actors—they are fragments of Jason Beghe’s own history, captured on film during a time when his real world was as full as Hank’s was once meant to be.
Today, Jason Beghe maintains a strictly professional atmosphere at the 21st District, keeping his private life with his sons, Bix and Bo Bear, separate from the gritty streets of the show. However, the legacy of that “Camille” footage remains a cherished piece of One Chicago lore. It serves as a reminder that even in the toughest procedural on television, the most powerful moments often come from the real love and real families of the people behind the badges. Angie Janu may not have a trailer on set today, but her image remains the catalyst for every tear Hank Voight has ever shed for his lost wife.
