CHICAGO FIRE Adds THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ Steven R. McQueen

THE VAMPIRE DIARIES’ Steven R. McQueen has landed his first post-TVD gig: NBC’s CHICAGO FIRE.

McQueen has joined the drama’s fourth season in a recurring capacity, a rep for the show has confirmed. He’ll be playing Jimmy Borelli, a new candidate, who “makes a dramatic entrance on his first day of work, and that doesn’t sit well with his boss, Chief Wallace Boden.”

CHICAGO FIRE executive producer Danielle Gelber first broke the news of McQueen’s casting on Twitter. “Newest addition to #ChicagoFire,” she wrote, accompanying a photo of herself with McQueen. “Welcome to the family! @McQueeninchains #season4”

CHICAGO FIRE returns Tuesday, October 13th at 10 PM on NBC.
