David Eigenberg: The Firefighter Dad We All Wish We Had

“From Sex and the City to Chicago’s Favorite Bar Owner.”

You may remember him as Steve Brady in Sex and the City, but David Eigenberg has carved a whole new legacy as Christopher Herrmann on Chicago Fire. As the co-owner of Molly’s and a longtime firefighter, Herrmann is the moral compass of the show—and it turns out David isn’t that different.

A devoted husband and father in real life, David is praised by cast and crew for his humility and sense of humor. He’s openly spoken about navigating hearing loss and staying strong through personal challenges, which makes his portrayal of Herrmann even more touching.

“He feels like your favorite uncle or a second dad,” one fan wrote. “He’s the soul of Firehouse 51.”
