Sophia Bush compares ‘Chicago P.D.’ to being ‘trapped in a burning building’
Sophia Bush shocked audiences earlier this year when she left “Chicago P.D.” after the show’s Season 4 finale. On Refinery 29’s “UnStyled” podcast, Bush opened up for the first time about what made her leave her “dream job.”
“I landed this job that, since I was 20 years old and trying to become an actor, I said I wanted. And aspects of it, don’t get me wrong, were wonderful,” the actress said. “But I knew by the end of the second season I couldn’t do that job anymore.”
Bush played Detective Erin Lindsay on the hit NBC show for four years, and had previously refused to discuss what made her leave the role beyond saying in an Instagram comment that “I left because I wanted to. End of story.” She said during the podcast that between Seasons 3 and 4 of the show, she sat down with her bosses to discuss her experience on the set.
