Jesse Lee Soffer Returns to ‘Chicago P.D.’ to Direct: ‘It’s Like I Never Really Left’

 Jesse Lee Soffer has returned to Chicago P.D.… the set, that is. He was last seen onscreen as Detective Jay Halstead in the third episode of the current 10th season, and it was for the 16th episode, airing March 22, that he steps behind the camera to direct for the first time. In “Deadlocked,” picking up on the story from Episode 13 “The Ghost in You,” Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) takes the stand for Asa Chapman (Sara Bues) in a high-stakes murder trial against notorious drug kingpin Arturo Morales (Robby Ramos).

 And once it becomes clear that Morales and his henchmen have compromised a juror, Voight and the team must work furiously to ensure justice prevails. Below, Soffer talks about being back on the P.D. set, the episode, and more. You spent 10 years acting on P.D., then you came back to set, but in a different capacity to direct.
