Chief Pascal’s Mysterious Past In Miami Gets Intriguing Tease From Chicago Fire Season 13 Star

Chicago Fire season 13 has introduced Chief Tom Pascal, played by Dermot Mulroney, and the mystery surrounding his past in Miami has already sparked intrigue among audience members. The NBC drama, famous for its action, melodrama, and realistic portrayal of firefighters in Chicago, teased at Pascal’s background, leaving viewers curious about what truly happened back in Miami. This new addition is expected to spice up Chicago Fire season 13 by adding some tension as Pascal becomes more integrated with Firehouse 51.

In an exclusive interview with Screen Rant, Mulroney discusses what it feels like coming onto a long-running show like Chicago Fire and revealed that they are working on episode 8. However, he says that despite having shot several episodes already, he is still learning about Pascal’s past too, which he says is central to the character’s introduction. Read his full quote below:

We’ve seen three episodes, and they’re brilliant. The writers, all they had to do was drop one [line] in the first episode, “What happened in Miami,” and it’s driving everyone crazy. Because you see this story every week for 12 years. I’ve never done this, so I’m doing it for the first time, and people are nuts about trying to figure out what happened with Pascal.

So, let me tell you this, we’ve shot seven, we’re on our eighth episode, so I know a little bit more, but I do not know the whole of it. Even myself, the actor, even though, in the life of the character, I’ve already lived through what happened in Miami, but that’s how they do it. So I’m learning too, but I can tell you this, these storylines go great.

It’s not linear, they’re really introducing Pascal in a great way. He has his moral challenges, and then obviously he’s a firefighter, so he keeps going in. So, it’s really a great role to get, and I’m thrilled to be here and on regular network television. I love that, too.
