I loved listening to this episode, it’s always so cool to hear how close the Chicago fire actors are. I’ve been so interested to know how it was for Brandon going from On Call as a police officer to then playing an ex-police officer and current firefighter as Sal Vasquez. It was so cool to hear that Luce was the one to train Brandon when he started On Call.
The BTS story of last night’s episode and how David Eigenberg made his body a dead weight to make Brandon quote on quote “earn it” was so cool to hear. Obviously, television is a dramatization of real life but it’s so fun to know that some aspects are almost as real as life gets, and that’s why it looks so real to the audience.
I loved to hear how much Brandon respects both David and Miranda and their work ethics. I think that’s one thing that really makes him feel like an immediate part of the fire family because not only does he get stuck in, but he also sits back and admires the actors who have such a large legacy on the show.
Brandon wanting Elliot Stabler and Olivia Benson to be in the Chicago Fire world is so funny considering there used to be crossovers with PD, I used to love those episodes and I would definitely be up for another one. To be honest I’d happily have a completed crossover between all the Dick Wolf shows.
It was so harrowing listening to Victor Teran talk about his own experience of losing his own home and how close to life this fourth episode was. It truly was done so perfectly and so true to life.
