Fans of FBI are mourning today after shocking news revealed that actor John Boyd, who portrayed Special Agent Stuart Scola, has passed away unexpectedly at the age of 45. The announcement has sent waves of grief through the One Chicago and FBI fandom, especially as Boyd’s presence had become a memorable part of the series.
Boyd joined FBI in Season 4 and quickly won over viewers with his warm screen presence, sharp instincts, and the emotional depth he brought to Scola — especially during storylines involving relationships and high-risk cases. His character’s journey, from field agent to expectant father, gave the series some of its most heartfelt moments.
While details surrounding his passing remain limited, tributes from fans and colleagues continue to pour in across social media. Many describe him as a kind soul, a committed actor, and a talent gone far too soon.
His death raises questions about how the show will address Scola’s absence moving forward — a storyline that will undoubtedly carry emotional weight whenever the series returns. But beyond the screen, the loss feels deeply personal to those who followed his work.
For now, viewers remember him not just as an FBI agent in the field, but as a performer who brought humanity to every scene he touched.
Rest in peace, John Boyd.
You will be missed, but never forgotten.
