Dick Wolf is best known for creating the Law & Order franchise, but he has also brought the One Chicago franchise to television. It began with Chicago Fire, which was followed by Chicago P.D., Chicago Med, and Chicago Justice. The first three are still on the air and doing quite well, and like any long-running procedural, plenty of cast members have come and gone, with some actors leaving because they were ready to move on with their careers, while others had their characters killed off in shocking moments. Let's take a look at the real reason these actors left the One Chicago franchise.
