Annie Ilonzeh (Empire, Person of Interest) & Steven Boyer (Trial & Error) have joined the upcoming seventh season of Chicago Fire per Variety's exclusive. Ilonzeh has been cast as a new paramedic whilst Boyer will play the role of the Assistant Deputy Commissioner. The roles are recurring on the NBC firefighter drama.
Chicago Fire returns September 26th on Chicago Wednesdays.
Ilonzeh will appear as Emily Foster, described as an intelligent, easygoing and confident new paramedic. Foster is new to the Chicago Fire Department but is a quick and effective worker. She may have a chip on her shoulder from the previous bumps in the road, yet takes everything in stride.
Boyer will play Assistant Deputy Commissioner Jerry Gorsch, the recently named Assistant Deputy Commissioner at the CFD. Nursing a Napoleon complex, Gorsh is not a typical hero. Never known for his bravery, he’s a former firefighter who has set his eyes on the cushier jobs at headquarters.
