Jason Beghe’s raspy voice and commanding presence have become synonymous with Chicago P.D., but inside his home, fame takes a back seat to fatherhood. The actor has long maintained strict boundaries designed to protect his sons from both Hollywood pressure and his own intense on-screen persona.
Perhaps the most unexpected rule is that Beghe’s children have rarely watched the show that made him famous. He’s explained that the darkness of Voight’s world isn’t something he wants bleeding into family life. At home, he isn’t a commanding sergeant — just Dad.
Privacy is another cornerstone of Beghe’s parenting. His sons are kept firmly out of the public eye, free from red carpets and social media exposure. Beghe is also candid about keeping expectations realistic, reminding them that acting is work — not identity.
Underneath the gravelly voice lies a deeply intentional parent, one who believes stability, empathy, and normalcy matter far more than recognition. It’s a side of Beghe that quietly challenges everything fans think they know about him.
