Jesse Lee Soffer has been unemployed for 12 hours. Which is a big deal, considering he started acting when he was 6 and hasn’t stopped since. Before he turned 30, Soffer had more than 500 episodes …
on a task with the Army to take down the cartel. In that process, he left his wife, Hailey Upton , behind. Despite promising her that they would get through it, she’s since been informed — via a phone call from his boss — that he’s extended his trip.
“I hadn’t really brought it up to anyone, but it was something I was willing to fight for,” he says. So less than two weeks after he wrapped his last episode, he came back to Chicago from Los Angeles — this time to shadow director Bethany Rooney, who has directed everything from “St. Elsewhere” and “The Wonder Years” to “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Arrow.”
His episode, titled “Deadlocked,” goes “a little old school,” following the boss, played by Jason Beghe, going off the books . After the episode wrapped, Soffer got the ultimate compliment from Beghe. “In his raspy voice, he was like” — here Soffer does the voice — “‘Bro, as far as maiden voyages go, this is effing spectacular.’”“More importantly,” he adds, “he is a fantastic human being. And he has the potential, if he has the interest, to become a world-class director.
“’P.D.’ is an ensemble — Jason’s definitely the lead and the strong patriarch on that show. I definitely think I’m ready to be a lead on a show and to have my own show,” he says. “I’d put all of my heart and soul into it.”
