The newest cast member of Chicago Fire already looks at home in his new role!
One Chicago fans are beyond excited for the debut of Dermot Mulroney as Chief Dom Pascal, and the first photo of Mulroney — shared by the actor himself as part of an Instagram carousel on August 28 — looks beyond fantastic! The 60-year-old snapped a quick selfie between takes at the Chicago Cultural Center as a tantalizing glimpse of what fans should expect in Season 13.
Mulroney wears the uniform quite well, don’t you think?
As Season 13 kicks off, Pascal is slated to take over for longtime Battalion Chief of Firehouse 51 Wallace Boden, who was memorably promoted to Deputy Commissioner of the entire Chicago Fire Department at the end of last season. Fortunately, it seems like Boden — played by Eamonn Walker for more than a decade — will still appear in the One Chicago universe every now and again. Boden’s final words last season were prophetic in hindsight.
“Thank you, but we are all gonna see each other again,” Boden told the firefighters at the end of Season 12. “There is no need for a big goodbye.”
Mulroney’s character hails from Miami — with a sunny disposition to match, despite his estrangement from his wife. The actor is well-known for his roles in everything from comedies like Friends and New Girl to gritty dramas like Shameless to recent films like Anyone But You. We’re sure he’ll fit into the cast of Chicago Fire just fine!
