Brandon Larracuente as Firefighter Sal Vasquez – JOINING AS SERIES REGULAR!
Brandon Larracuente has joined Chicago Fire as a series regular ahead of Season 14, Variety confirmed in June.
He will be playing the role of Firefighter Sal Vasquez.
“Sal is good at his job and he knows it. He wants to be the best he can be at his job and to protect those around him while he’s doing it,” the actor told TV Insider.
He last starred on On Call, the Prime Video half-hour drama executive produced by Dick Wolf. The series did not get picked up for a second season. He has also appeared in shows like The Good Doctor, Party of Five, 13 Reasons Why and Bloodline.
Michael Bradway as Jack Damon- LEAVING!
Michael Bradway will not be back in Chicago Fire Season 14 as Severide’s firefighting half-brother Jack Damon, per Soaps.com.
Producers “would like to have the character reappear if schedules allow,” according to Soaps.com.
He was just cast in Prime Video’s Every Summer After as older brother Charlie, and production has already begun, so it feels like a return is unlikely at the moment.
Michael recurred for two seasons, starting in Season 12. In the Season 12 finale, he revealed that Lieutenant Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) that he’s his half-brother, and that Benny is also his dad.
As for how he will be written out, Season 13 presented a possible exit strategy: An efficiency expert warned the firehouse that layoffs and forced retirements were coming. “We’re going to have a lot of turnover, and a lot craziness going on in the CFD from the top, where people are being cut and moved, and everything’s going to get shaken up next season,” showrunner Andrea Newman told TVLine, teasing that “there will be hellos, and there will be goodbyes.”
