Who Is Sam Carver On ‘Chicago Fire’?

According to co-showrunners Derek Haas and Andrea Newman, Carver will be anything but a minor character this season. Boden brings him onto the Firehouse 51 team because of his indisputable talent, but that doesn’t mean the character is free of baggage.

“He’s a great firefighter, which is valuable to any rig in our group,” Haas tells NBC Insider. “But it’s all the stuff that goes beyond that. How you behave out of the firehouse, off-shift. Who you hang out with. Some of the darker places you end up in. All of this will be affecting Stella.”
