Nick Gehlfuss stopped portraying Dr. Will Halstead on “Chicago Med” due to the amount of time he’d been playing the same part. In May 2023, Gehlfuss chatted with Variety about the tough choice to move on from the role after nearly a decade of embodying the character. “It was a difficult decision, but ultimately, I felt I’d taken Dr. Halstead as far as I can go with him,” Gehlfuss said. He added, “I think that comes down to a creative part of you, or the energy or spirit you have that you’re either built for a very long time with one person or not.”
The performer went on to note his interest in the range of opportunities that the acting world has to offer. “I am attracted to the profession for the variety in it, and eight years is a long time,” Gehlfuss said. Gehlfuss additionally opened up to TVLine about wrapping up filming for his final episode of “Chicago Med,” which included Halstead resuming his relationship with Dr. Natalie Manning, played by Torrey DeVitto. During one touching scene in the episode, per One Chicago, Halstead bid farewell to the Gaffney emergency department. “The last scene I shot was saying goodbye to the entire ED, and it was a really emotional day, of course, but so beautiful at the same time,” Gehlfuss said. Costars and viewers have expressed their sadness in seeing Gehlfuss go.
