When it comes to future TV stars making minor guest appearances before hitting it big, Law & Order: SVU is usually the place to find a plethora. For Stranger Things star Joe Keery, however, his second credit ever was in the One Chicago corner of the Dick Wolf TV universe after guest-starring in two episodes of Chicago Fire. Now, with Stranger Things ending in the 2025 TV schedule, NBC's official social media account for the franchise is throwing back to his pre-Steve Harrington days, and it makes me want to see him back on Fire again.
Joe Keery appeared in Episodes 16 and 17 of Chicago Fire Season 3, which originally aired in March 2015 and are available streaming now with a Peacock subscription. He played Emmett, a young man who Mouch mistakenly believed was his son via sperm donation. Prior to Fire, Keery only had one credit to his name: a single episode of Sirens.
