Actress Marlyne Barrett, who plays the charge nurse on “Chicago Med,” violates the old joke about not being a doctor but playing one on TV.
Barrett IS actually a nurse who plays Nurse Maggie Lockwood on the show. But that fact had nothing to do with her being cast.
“I never told them I was a nurse,” she says. In fact, Barrett had previously co-starred in two series produced by Dick Wolf who heads up the three “Chicago” shows — “Chicago Med,” “Chicago Fire” and “Chicago P.D.” on NBC.
