Who Played Hallie Thomas On Chicago Fire?

Actress Teri Reeves played Hallie Thomas in ten episodes of the first season of “Chicago Fire.” The actress has done everything from soap operas like “Days of our Lives” and “General Hospital” to movies like “Black Site Delta.” She has also lent her talents to endeavors such as “Once Upon a Time” as Dorothy Gale and Marlena Olin in “The Punisher.” Her career has earned her several credits (via IMDb), but it’s hard to deny that one of her most significant roles involves her time within the One Chicago franchise.

Her run as Hallie Thomas was not something Reeves took lightly, and she did hands-on preparation to help cultivate an authentic performance. “They scheduled an ER shadow [experience], so I went to Mercy Hospital in Chicago and was with an ER doctor an evening, and he put me in a lab coat and introduced me as Dr. Casey,” she told TVequals.com. “So yeah, I got to see all types of real-life situations and observed him and his behavior which was really a huge help because of the way an ER doctor deals with the craziness of their job [with] the most interesting sense of humor and they’re super close with one another.”

Her extracurricular efforts were arguably one of the many factors that helped the debut season resonate so well with home audiences (via Rotten Tomatoes), building a solid foundation for “Chicago Fire” to grow into one of the most watched shows a decade after it started (via Variety).
