Chicago Fire Spoilers: This Famous Actor Could Replace Jesse Spencer As Casey!

Chicago Fire fan favorite Jesse Spencer portrayed Captain Matthew Casey for years. As a result, viewers felt shocked when rumors of Spencer’s departure turned into reality.  And the actor’s exit also raised a big question concerning the firefighter drama’s future. 

Who could producers find to measure up to Spencer’s charisma and acting skills? Amid all the rumors concerning which actor might fill the shoes left by Captain Casey, a new report points to a surprising choice. Find out below what famous actor will walk into the Chicago Firehouse next.

Chicago Fire Spoilers – Will This Actor Replace Jesse Spencer?

After portraying Matt Casey for 10 seasons, Jesse Spencer left Chicago Fire amid the show’s 200th episode. Chicago Fire showed that Casey believed his late pal Andy Darden’s sons needed him more than the Firehouse 51 crew. As a result, the Chicago firehouse needs a new leader. 

Now, per TV Line, Chicago Fire might have found that key person in a new character. Get ready to meet interim Lieutenant Jason Pelham. Portrayed by Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. alum Brett Dalton, Pelham will become a recurring figure in the firehouse. And the timing of Pelham’s intro onto the truck with Casey’s exit off to Oregon could mean that producers see Dalton as a potential permanent replacement for Jesse Spencer.

But before Chicago Fire fans assume that the new interim Lieutenant will fill Casey’s boots, let’s look at Firefighter Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo). With her success on the lieutenant’s exam, couldn’t Stella turn into a better candidate than new guy on the firehouse block Jason Pelham for Casey’s vacated position? Well, maybe. 

But Chicago Fire’s showrunner spilled some spoilers hinting that neither Stella nor Jason will automatically win that spot. Watch for a possible battle between Jason and Stella that could turn into a major story line this season! Stella in particular will become “a hot topic of conversation through this next batch of episodes — whether they’re going to hold a spot for her while she’s off doing her good work for Girls on Fire,” clarified showrunner Derek Haas.
