Chicago P.D.: Infection, Part III (2019)
Disabled Actor - BRAVO!
I was recently watching this episode and was very surprised to learn the actor playing the security guard at the beginning of the episode, who walks down the hospital hallway with Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), is a leg amputee.
His name is Ricky Bartlett and an article said he lost his left leg to flesh-eating disease, which is what the episode was about. The article also said he recently lost his right leg as well.
Talk about art imitating life!
Other than that, the trilogy was good. As a nurse, I feel they need to reach out to more experts concerning medical diseases to portray more accuracy.

Amputee? S7E4 Amazing!
I just rewatched S7E4 of Chicago PD. It was amazing! But what I am even more impressed with is the guy who plays a security guard in the hospital. He's on the cast list as Ricky Bartlett, but what it doesn't say is that he's a leg amputee that he lost to flesh eating disease; the topic of the show.
Thank you Chicago PD for supporting the disabled. As a disabled woman with MS, I am always grateful when handicapped people are represented in a positive light.
