Summary
- Jason Beghe, who plays Sergeant Hank Voight, is a proud father to his adult sons
- Beghe takes a similar approach to mentoring his younger co-stars as he does with parenting
- The Chicago P.D. cast members are loving parents when they're not filming intense cop scenes
As of October 15th, 2025, the cast of the hit TV show Chicago P.D. is proving that they're just as adept at playing loving parents as they are at portraying tough-as-nails cops. According to the article, several members of the Chicago P.D. ensemble trade their hardened personas for a softer touch when they return home to their children.
One such actor is Jason Beghe, who has portrayed the role of Sergeant Hank Voight since the show's inception in 2014. Beghe, a veteran in the industry, admits that he takes the same approach with his junior castmates as he does with parenting his own two sons, Bix and Bo Bear. "Just like my own kids, they're better than I am," he said in a 2021 podcast interview. "I think a good way to go about it that's worked for me is not, 'What can I teach them?' but, 'What can I learn from them?'"
Beghe couldn't be prouder of the men his sons have become, describing them as "good people" who are "empathetic and decent." As the Chicago P.D. cast continues to captivate audiences with their gritty on-screen performances, it's clear that their off-screen roles as loving parents are just as integral to who they are.
