Scott Elrod has booked a multi-episode arc on NBC’s Chicago Fire, EW has learned.
The Young and the Restless star, who recently played Meredith’s (Ellen Pompeo) first post-Derek love interest on Grey’s Anatomy, will play Travis Brenner, a drop dead gorgeous “lifestyle” celebrity with a million Instagram followers. Severide (Taylor Kinney) enters Brenner’s orbit on a fire call, and becomes tempted to join Brenner’s fast-paced inner circle.
“This guy always has a party going on, always has a new adventure to rope in a new friend,” executive producer Derek Haas tells EW. “He feels like Severide is a real guy, not the usual hanger-on, entourage type of guy that he’s used to hanging out with, so he’s attracted to Severide in that way. He’s going to cause some mischief over the first three episodes.”
