CHICAGO P.D.: Jason Beghe on the Shifting Team Dynamics

As CHICAGO P.D.’s Upton (Tracy Spiridakos) finds herself in the middle of her partner/boyfriend Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) and boss Voight (Jason Beghe) on the Wednesday, May 12 episode, the struggle is highlighting the blurry lines for Intelligence.

“[Burgess is] closer to her team than she is her family at this point,” Marina Squerciati (who plays Burgess) recently shared. “[But it] is also kind of dangerous that they’re all sort of so committed and intertwined with each other. That actually comes to a head in the season finale. Alliances will be tested.”

It’s especially complicated for Voight, who has had to oversee his team—and their desire to protect each other at all costs—as the department is adjusting their tactics due to the ongoing effort to reform.

“It’s hard,” Beghe acknowledged to reporters in the video below. “He’s doing the best he can and sometimes he does better than other times. But, you know, we are a unit—it’s eight hearts with one beat, in a way. And so we depend on each other. There are times when Jay leads and there’s times when Voight leads [or] Upton…that’s kind of how we work on the show as actors, and also how the characters work.”
