One Chicago is famous for its character crossovers, but there’s a special place in the hearts of Chi-Hards for the brotherly duo of Chicago P.D.’s Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) and Chicago Med’s Will Halstead (Nick Gehlfuss). Their sibling bond is one for the ages.

We all love the Halstead brothers. Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer) is more stoic, and his direct approach to police work makes him one of the most capable people in the IU. Will (Nick Gehlfuss) is goofier, and more willing to comfort patients as he treats them in ED.
