The Chicago P.D. cast is tight in real life
When star Marina Squerciati took a trip to Budapest, she met up with P.D. alum Tracy Spiridakos! “The funny thing is that, with all the darkness, we goof around the whole time,” series regular Patrick John Flueger told The Hollywood Reporter. “Everyone is so serious, but at the same time, we goof around. Every set says, ‘We’re a family, we’re a family.’ I’ll tell you what: We are a family! Our crew works so hard; they’re there for such long hours that, if we didn’t goof around, I don’t know how it would be survivable.”
“Me and Patty [Patrick John Flueger, who plays Officer Adam Ruzek] have been like brothers since day one,” fellow cast member LaRoyce Hawkins revealed to The Hollywood Reporter in February 2025. “I visit the Fluegers in Red Wing on Thanksgivings, and they have adopted me, saying I am their only Black child, which is dope!”
“Me and [Detective Kim] Burgess [played by Marina Squerciati] experienced parenthood around the same time. My son is only a week older than her daughter, and that’s the connection you can’t pay for,” Hawkins said. He’s also grown closer to Jason Beghe, a.k.a Sergeant Hank Voight. “I love the way we communicate now. He has been teaching me a lot. And he is hard on me too, which I appreciate. I haven’t had that kind of attention — which I think is necessary for a young brother coming up in this type of game.”
