It's been a few months since "Chicago P.D." fans had to endure the pain and anguish of one of the show's main characters, Jesse Lee Soffer's Det. Jay Halstead, permanently leaving the force in exchange for a position in the U.S. Army. But, with Soffer set to direct an upcoming episode in Season 10 of the show, fans will get to see the actor's creative take on the long-running series. However, for his fellow cast member Patrick John Flueger (who plays Adam Ruzek), being directed by Soffer actually makes him feel nervous.
You would think that nothing would be better for an actor than to be directed by someone who's become a great friend over the past nine years. However, Flueger admitted to NBC Insider that although he has full confidence in Soffer's directorial abilities, the thought of him calling the shots behind the camera makes him uncomfortable. "When you work this closely and you become that close with somebody after a decade, they know you pretty well," he said. "So I'm excited for him to direct, but I'm also a little nervous for him to direct."
However, Flueger's nerves aren't about his performance but from familiarity: "I don't know if I'm gonna be able to get through things without laughing. Because I'm embarrassed that Jesse can see right through me like I'm a transparent ghost," he confessed.
