Who Plays Richard Beck On Chicago P.D.?

The actor playing Richard Beck in "Chicago P.D." is Lee Tergesen. Despite the episode "I Can Let You Go" being his first foray into the One Chicago franchise, the actor is no stranger to the realm of TV crime dramas. Other procedurals viewers may have seen Tergesen in include "Law & Order," "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," "Criminal Minds," and "East New York." Some may argue his more notable efforts on the small screen include "Weird Science," "Oz," and "Generation Kill" — and on the cinema side of things, while there is an abundance of movie titles within his filmography, Tergesen's more popular claims to fame include memorable roles in "Point Break," "Wayne's World 2," "Monster," and "The Texas Chainsaw: The Beginning."

Beck has been making a name for himself as an actor with credits going back as far as 1987, and despite having accomplished so much in that time, Tergesen seems content with staying in the game. "I could see myself acting for the rest of my life," the actor told the Los Angeles Times back in 1995. "But every time as an actor when you finish a job you ask, 'Will I ever get hired again?'" Regarding his employment status with the NBC series, the TV Fanatic review of the entry speculates that his character will return, indicating this might not be the last "Chicago P.D." fans have seen of Lee Tergesen.
