Actor Jesse Lee Soffer has explained why he joined FBI: International after leaving Chicago P.D., despite both shows being part of Dick Wolf’s TV universe. Soffer originally portrayed Jay Halstead in Chicago P.D., having also appeared as the character in guest roles in Chicago Fire, Chicago Med, and Law & Order: SVU. The actor, who had been on the series since the start, departed the police procedural in season 10. However, he’ll be returning to the sprawling TV universe as a new character, Agent Wesley “Wes” Mitchell, in FBI: International season 4.
