Just after his final episode of “Chicago Fire” aired, Jimmy Nicholas spoke to the NBC Insider about his departure from the network’s flagship firefighting drama. He praised the series’ staff for, among other things, allowing him extra time on-set to shoot his final scene and giving his character’s death a clear purpose.
Based on how he recalled feeling an acute sadness upon leaving “Chicago Fire,” it’s evident the actor enjoyed his time on series immensely. “Oh my gosh, I cried a lot,” he said of his final day on the show. “They had me say a word at the end, once I was wrapped, and I tried to hold it together after that. I wasn’t expecting them to bring me a cake and have me say a word, but I held it together for that, and then in the car ride after I was crying.”
Chief Hawkins’ death occurs in Season 11, Episode 3, which premiered on October 5, 2022. Since then, Nicholas guested on an episode of “FBI: Most Wanted.” Otherwise, his acting career seems to have slowed down. However, he is an active athlete. Notably, he hosts a movie and sports podcast called “Everything but the Kitchen Sink.” He also works as a personal trainer and SoulCycle instructor. In his personal life, he regularly competes in Hyrox races, which task racers with completing resistance training-based challenges rather than simply running.
