One Chicago Day 2016: An intense Jason Beghe on CHICAGO PD

Jason Beghe joined us for a Q&A session as a part of NBC’s celebration for OneChicagoDay2016 and spent some time talking all things Voight.  Does he have someone to lean on now that Jason is gone?  How does he reconcile the fact that Voight is a murderer, telling others not to cross the line like him?  Is he as intense as Voight?  A really great chat with him, the full video for which I’ve included above!  Here are some highlights

HAWAII FIVE-0 Takes a Bow as Season Seven Begins

As Queen’s Surf Beach drank in the beauty of another sunset over Waikiki, cast and crew gathered with fans for Hawaii Five-0’s Season Seven red-carpet premiere.  And what a memorable event it was – and a starlit night so clear the white canopy that has enveloped so many Five-0 premieres was nowhere in sight.

HAWAII FIVE-0: Sunset Brings Dawn of Season Four

Clearly, the Jonas Brothers were a big, LOUD draw at Hawaii Five-0’s Season Four Sunset on the Beach red carpet premiere. A Reason to Cheer Whenever the “Jonas” name was mentioned for anything, be it getting in a car to attend the event or stepping onto the red carpet, their every move was accompanied by a tumultuous 8,000 screams that exploded as one very loud voice. Jonas Brothers aside, this annual event for Hawaii Five-0 was cause to celebrate. With
