Could we see the return of actor Brian Tee to the Chicago Med cast?
The veteran actor played Dr. Ethan Choi for years, but the character left the show when he married Nurse April Sexton (Yaya DaCosta).
A big deal was made about Ethan and April remaining in Chicago, leaving the door open for a return.
Brian has since returned behind the camera, serving as the director for two episodes of Med.
He has also been spending time on a new show called Expats with Nicole Kidman.
Recently, Brian was at the Gotham TV Awards to help present an award to the creator of that show, Lulu Wang.
Brian Tee chats about a return to One Chicago
“There’s always conversation [about] returning on screen,” Brian Tee told TVLine.
“It’s interesting. I think, every season, Chicago Med goes through a bit of a flux,” Brian further teased.
It’s true. Chicago Med has a lot of turnover in the cast. Many stars have come and gone from the One Chicago medical drama, allowing for fresh faces and returning characters.
“But I get to come back, and I play with all the cast and the crew on the director side of things. So we’ll always start that conversation, and if the right time or the right storyline comes along, maybe it might happen. So it’s kind of one of those things that you never say goodbye to,” Brian elaborated in the interview.
The veteran actor also spoke about his interest in returning to One Chicago to direct episodes for Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. He wants to branch out in that facet and has fun showing his talents behind the camera.
He appears keen to resurrect his character if the right storyline comes along, but for now, his return as Dr. Choi seems more like a tease than a reality.
