Stranger Things Star's Surprising Chicago Fire Past

Joe Keery, widely recognized for his iconic portrayal of Steve Harrington in the hit Netflix series Stranger Things, has a surprising early acting credit in the world of Chicago Fire. He appeared in Episodes 16 and 17 of Season 3 back in March 2015, portraying a character named Emmett. This role predates his global fame and showcases a less-known facet of his acting career before he donned the famous '80s hairstyle.

Emmett's storyline on Chicago Fire involved a peculiar connection to the character Mouch. Mouch mistakenly believed Emmett was his son, but it was later revealed that Emmett is actually the half-brother of Mouch's biological daughter, Lizzie. This revelation offers a unique narrative link, leaving open the possibility for Emmett's return, especially if his sister Lizzie were to reappear in the franchise.

While Keery has achieved significant success and recognition through Stranger Things, he has also maintained a busy career with other notable projects, including a role in the upcoming film Cold Storage and a season of Fargo. His music career also continues to flourish with his band's recent album release, demonstrating a diverse range of talents beyond acting.
