Actor James Eckhouse joins the Chicago Med cast for a new episode of the show. While Eckhouse will be in the role of a patient for Dr. Daniel Charles, many long-time television viewers will likely recognize him from something else.
For 146 episodes of Beverly Hills, 90210, Eckhouse played Jim Walsh on the show. He was the father of Brandon Walsh (Jason Priestley) and Brenda Walsh (Shannon Doherty) and will likely forever be known for that role.
Eckhouse has also done a lot of additional acting over the years, including appearances on NCIS, CSI, Boston Legal, The Good Wife, Days of Our Lives, and Station 19. Now, he will stop by the Chicago Med cast and interact a lot with actor Oliver Platt (Dr. Charles).
