Chicago P.D. Fans Are Praising Jefferson White’s Creepy Performance As Sean – Looper

Throughout Season 10 of “Chicago P.D.,” Jefferson White has played the sex trafficker and pedophile Sean O’Neal. His actions become a primary focus for Detective Hailey Upton Halstead (Tracy Spiridakos). As revealed by Gwen Sigan to TV Line, Detective Halstead borders on an obsession to bring O’Neal down and to stop his preying upon underage girls. Like all the best villains that viewers loathe but also find impossible to turn away from, White’s acting is what makes the character so monstrous and quietly harrowing to fans. On Twitter, @IDressAndRest pointedly observed, “The actor playing Sean O’Neal is acting a little too good which has me questioning his real life character. Sorry sport. lol #ChicagoPD.” @lexiesdaisy also made this distinction clear by stating, “The actor that plays Sean plays a damn good part for him to be this creepy. #ChicagoPD.”

The same sentiments could be found over on the show’s subreddit page as well, with u/januarysdaughter commenting, “Props to Sean’s actor for always creeping me out.” Fan u/Same-Bowl6381 agreed by adding, “That scene in his office with Hailey just now. He’s mesmerizing. What an actor! and yes, he is creepy.” Although the actor’s role of Jimmy on “Yellowstone” is a bit self-destructive, that character is much more normal than Sean. This was pointed out by u/sweetpeapickle, who said, “And to think he plays sweet loveable Jimmy on Yellowstone…..”
