Season 14 of Chicago P.D. introduces FBI Agent Charlie Boyden, played by Kyle Selig, who joins the Intelligence Unit to evaluate CPD resource usage and immediately creates tension within the 21st District.
Showrunner Gwen Sigan describes Charlie as an “odd duck” whose awkward, earnest personality makes him difficult for Hank Voight to read, leaving both Voight and viewers unsure if he's trustworthy.
Kyle Selig is known for his Broadway work in Mean Girls: The Musical, The Book of Mormon, and Water for Elephants, along with TV appearances in series including Evil,FBI: International, and Welcome to Flatch.
The Intelligence Unit has received an unexpected shake-up with the arrival of FBI Agent Charlie Boyden (Kyle Selig) on Season 14 of Chicago P.D.
How to Watch
Watch Chicago P.D. Wednesdays at 10 p.m. ET on NBC and next day on Peacock.
Sgt. Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) and the Intelligence Unit investigators have been dealing with nonstop workplace headaches on Chicago P.D.after a nearby CPF HQ displaced countless officers and threw the 21st District into disarray. After Voight raised complaints, he learned the 21st District was being restructured, with an FBI Agent moved into the Intelligence Unit to evaluate if it was efficiently using CPD resources. All eyes are now on FBI Agent Charlie Boyden as he snags a desk at the 21st District.
"[Charlie Boyden] is a really different character that Voight cannot figure out," P.D. showrunner Gwen Sigan told NBC Insider. "And for Voight, usually he can read people very easily. He's very good at getting a step ahead of people, knowing how to navigate these types of antagonists. But this one's different. This one, he's like, 'I don't know how to make heads or tails of this guy.' He's an odd duck, and it's been really fun to play."
But as Sigan tells NBC Insider, there's more to FBI Agent Charlie Boyden than meets the eye. Read more below.

After his introduction in Chicago P.D.'s Season 14 premiere, Charlie experienced a rough arrival at the Intelligence Unit as the detectives grew concerned about being patrolled by a federal agent. But, despite the danger Charlie seemingly posed, his clumsy demeanor may influence previous assumptions.
Unlike P.D. threats of the past, Charlie doesn't seem like a cutthroat federal agent, which seems to catch Voight off-guard. When discussing whether Charlie is a friend or foe in the 21st District, showrunner Gwen Sigan tells NBC Insider that viewers will have to wait to find out.
"[Charlie] moves upstairs into our unit, which we've never seen before," Sigan explained. "Very odd for us. For Voight, it definitely feels very uncomfortable and wrong, and his first instinct is: get this person outta here, protect my unit, protect my family, get him out."

Sigan concluded, "But the more we get to know Charlie, I think his character is very disarming to Voight. He's a little bit awkward. He kind of, at surface value, almost sweet and just like a very earnest guy. And Voight doesn't know what to do with it, which I love. [Voight] doesn't trust it, and I don't think the audience is fully gonna trust it either."
