'Chicago P.D.'s' Jesse Lee Soffer: Practicing for This Role is Fun! (Episode 97)

The "Chicago" franchise on NBC is a major success for the network and for its esteemed creator, Dick Wolf. Chicago P.D. returns this fall for season four on Sept. 21. Meet Jesse Lee Soffer, (Detective Jay Halstead) in this video as he clues us in on the upcoming season.

He’s part of a solid cast headed by Jason Beghe as Detective Sgt. Hank Voight of the Chicago Police Department and its elite intelligence unit. Jesse’s character is described as “a brash young cop who previously saw active military duty in Afghanistan.” Not surprisingly, the story follows members of the crime-fighting force as they (try to) balance personal and professional lives.

Jesse, age 32, stopped by to tell us what’s up with his character and others who call the set their home away from home. As a dedicated marksman on the show, he also does target practice when he’s not shooting scenes. If you wonder how he stays in shape, here he tells us about working out—and about training with his castmate LaRoyce Hawkins.

Other cast members include Sophia Bush, Patrick John Flueger, Elias Koteas, Jon Seda, Marina Squerciati, Amy Morton and Brian Geraghty.

Jesse had a recurring role on "Two of a Kind" and "Guiding Light" and was a regular on "As the World Turns" and "The Mob Doctor." He’s loving the current challenges and success of "Chicago P.D.," as is obvious here.

Be sure to watch the season premiere on NBC Wednesday, Sept. 21 at 10 p.m. ET.
