14 Jul
Summary
- Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel made a cameo in 'Chicago Fire' pilot.
- Emanuel's appearance required a charitable contribution.
- The donation benefited the firefighter's widow and orphans fund.
In 2012, Dick Wolf aimed for authentic Windy City representation in the 'Chicago Fire' franchise.
Former Mayor Rahm Emanuel appeared as himself in the show's pilot episode. His cameo was contingent on a charitable commitment from the production. Emanuel stipulated that the TV show invest in the firefighter's widow and orphans fund.
The NBC drama 'Chicago Fire,' which chronicles the lives of fictional Firehouse 51 personnel, readily agreed to Emanuel's terms. As a result, the former mayor made a brief appearance in the series opener, acknowledging a firefighter with a nod and a handshake.
