AceShowbiz - This new face on "Chicago Fire" season 4 may not sit well with members of Firehouse 51. Fredric Lehne has joined the cast for the upcoming installment in a recurring role of Deputy District Chief Ray Riddle.
According to EW, he is a "gruff, hard charging fire chief above Boden (Eamonn Walker) who is one of a new breed of politically savvy climbers in the CFD. He's gunning for the top spot of Fire Commissioner, and he doesn't care if Firehouse 51 ends up as collateral damage in the process."
Lehne's extensive TV credits include "Bones", "Lost", "Criminal Minds", "Supernatural", "Medium", "The X-Files" and many more. He is the latest addition to the cast for "Chicago Fire" season 4, joining Steven R. McQueen who is tapped to play Jimmy Borelli (a new candidate at Firehouse 51), Brian White who stars as the new Squad lieutenant when Severide (Taylor Kinney) is demoted by Riddle, and Rachel Nichols as Severide's new love interest.
"Chicago Fire" season 4 kicks off Tuesday, October 13 at 10 P.M. on NBC.
