Chicago P.D. wrapped Season 10 back in May with a frustrating cliffhanger for Ruzek, and the wait is currently on for the Intelligence Unit to return for the eleventh season. The current WGA writers strike casts some doubt on whether P.D. will be able to return in September as per usual, but LaRoyce Hawkins didn't make fans wait until fall to learn a fun story about his son watching the hit NBC show.
LaRoyce Hawkins has of course been playing Officer Kevin Atwater on Chicago P.D. going all the way back to Season 1 (and he is also ready for his character to get the promotion to detective). Unlike Ruzek, Atwater's life wasn't hanging in the balance at the end of Season 10. Now, during summer hiatus, the actor revealed that there's another fan in the family: his 6-year-old son, Roman John. Speaking with Us Weekly, Hawkins shared what happened when his son was at a sleepover recently:
The other day he was spending the night [at] one of his homies’ cribs, and I just called him to say goodnight. And his little homie’s dad was, like, ‘Yeah, they’re watching you on TV right now. It’s gonna be hard for me to get him in the conversation. [When] he got on the phone, he was like, ‘Dad, are you coming up in this next part?’ And I was like, ‘I don’t know even know what episode he was watching.’ But I was like, ‘I’m pretty sure I’m in there somewhere, bro!'
I don't often say that things are cute in relation to what is inarguably the darkest and most serious show in NBC's One Chicago lineup, but how cute is that story about LaRoyce Hawkins' son watching Chicago P.D. with his friends and wanting to see his dad in action? Even if P.D. isn't exactly aimed at the 6-year-old demographic, it sounds like his son is a big fan!
