You have questions. I have some answers.
Who is that gray-haired, raspy-voiced actor on “Chicago P.D.”? He is excellent in every scene. He is in the Eddie Egan class — the epitome of a tough cop.
You are thinking of Jason Beghe, who plays Hank Voight on the NBC drama. A screen actor for more than 35 years, he has often been seen on TV and in movies, usually as a tough guy. The gravelly voice arrived well into his acting career. “In 1999 I was in a serious car accident,” Beghe told the New York Daily News in 2014. “I was intubated, and I kept pulling this tube out of my throat. That’s how I got the voice.” Also significant in his off-camera life was his involvement with Scientology; he reportedly left the organization after about a dozen years, and has been outspoken against it since 2008.
By the way, Eddie Egan was a real-life New York City cop who inspired the Gene Hackman character in “The French Connection.” Egan’s later years included quite a few acting roles, mainly as law enforcement types; he died in 1984.
When will “Yellowstone” return? I love the show!
There hasn’t been a date announced for the fourth season of the Paramount Network drama starring Kevin Costner. But the season has reportedly completed shooting — and may get a June return since that’s been the premiere month for the previous three seasons. By the way, also in the works are a prequel series, “Y: 1883,” about the pioneer years of the Dutton family, and a spinoff ranching saga, “6666.”
