Chicago P.D. Star Patrick John Flueger Taking Leave of Absence From Show
Patrick John Flueger is taking a temporary leave from Chicago P.D. Season 13 to address a personal matter; scripts are being rewritten and he is expected to return later.
- Deadline first reported Tuesday that Patrick John Flueger, who plays Adam Ruzek on Chicago P.D., is taking a leave during Season 13 while scripts are reworked for his absence.
- Sources say the leave follows a difficult personal period for Patrick John Flueger, including one instance of alcohol use on set, Deadline and other outlets report.
- As an original cast member, Flueger's Adam Ruzek anchors long-running storylines, marrying Detective Kim Burgess, played by Marina Squerciati, and sharing their adopted daughter Makayla.
- The Intelligence Unit will be down an officer this season as Universal Television and Wolf Entertainment adjust scripts, following precedent set by Taylor Kinney, Chicago Fire star, taking a 10-month leave.
- Chicago P.D. is part of the One Chicago franchise, which has weathered frequent cast changes, and Season 13 premiered earlier this month as the show adjusts storylines early in the run.
