The actor will portray a firefighter candidate, with the role potentially recurring. The news was first broken by Da Vinchi on Instagram, who shared a photo of himself with Daddario and co-star Brandon Larracuente on set. Daddario, known for his role as demon hunter Alec Lightwood on Shadowhunters, is joining the cast of NBC's Chicago Fire, which returns on October 7. The show has recently experienced several high-profile departures, including Joe Miñoso and Dermot Mulroney. Fans of the show are left to speculate on the impact of these changes.",
