NBC's CHICAGO MED
- Brian Tee will exit the cast of the veteran drama after starring for eight seasons as Dr. Ethan Choi. His final appearance will occur during the ninth episode titled "Could Be the Start of Something New" airing on Wednesday, December 7. However, he will return for the season's sixteenth episode offscreen to make his directorial debut.
- Tee released the following statement on his departure: "Playing Dr. Ethan Choi on Chicago Med has been such a gift and a blessing. I am forever grateful to our fans and my colleagues both in front of and behind the camera as I embark on a new journey. I am forever indebted to Dick Wolf, NBC, and Universal Television for choosing me. What we've been planning for Dr. Choi's sendoff is fitting, and it's beautiful. I think the fans are going to absolutely love it. It's going to bring a little bit of the new Ethan and a little bit of the old. Know that episode 9 is going to be an amazing one."
