Tee shared the exciting news on Instagram. “Guess the cats outta the bag … now you know where I’ve been,” the actor captioned the post, referencing his absence as Dr. Ethan Choi. “Humbled to be a part of such an amazing group of artist #Expats,” he added.
Speaking to TV Insider, Tee gave more of a glimpse as to how he feels about the series. “There are certain projects that feed the soul, fill the heart, and connect with you in ways you never thought possible,” he explained, adding “I believe for me, this is one of them.” Showrunner Lulu Wang is just as excited to see Tee join the cast. “Brian is a deeply compassionate actor with undeniable screen presence — an irresistible pairing with Nicole,” she said in a statement (via TV Insider). “We are unbelievably fortunate to have him on board.”
“Expats” isn’t the only thing Tee has been working on during his absence from “Chicago Med.” A quick look at his IMDB reiterates just how in demand Tee has been while playing Dr. Choi on the show, as he’s also starred in the likes of “Star Wars: Visions,” “Lucife,” “The Beautiful Ones,” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows.”
