So Much Pride In This Journey

A departing Chicago Fire star shares their emotional goodbye to the show and the cast, reflecting on their journey throughout the series. In mid-April, it was revealed that Chicago Fire season 13 would see the departure of Jake Lockett as Sam Carver, with the actor’s character confirmed to be leaving the series. Sam was introduced in season 11 as a recurring character, the young firefighter slowly becoming a core member of Firehouse 51, getting upgraded to a series regular by season 13. However, his time on Truck 81 is coming to a close.

Now, Jake Lockett has shared a video on Instagram of him with his fellow Chicago Fire cast members behind-the-scenes, alongside a caption offering an emotional farewell to the series. The video shows the actor alongside various other cast and crew members having fun behind-the-scenes. Its humorous and heartfelt visuals are accompanied by a caption where the actor explains how honored he is to have been part of the series, and how important it’s become to his life as a whole. Check out Lockett’s video and what he had to say below:

While I don’t exactly know what the future looks like, I do know that it won’t be exactly what it was and I am going to miss the hell out of that. So much pride in this journey.

It’s been an honor bringing Sam to life and to every one of you, thank you for the love and support over the past three years.

And most importantly, the people that I was on the ground with day and night… thank you for the family you are and times you have been and will be there for me. If you’re not in one of these clips, there will be more to follow. So many cherished memories.

More to come…
