“Chicago Fire” will be absent one of its most beloved characters this season.
Actor Taylor Kinney, who has starred as Lt. Kelly Severide since the Dick Wolf-helmed hit series premiered on NBC in 2012, is taking time away from the show, which is filmed in Chicago, to “deal with a personal matter,” Deadline.com first reported on Friday. The story also notes that episodes may have to be rewritten to accommodate Severide’s absence.
