Whitford will make his appearance during the Chicago Justice portion of the three-show crossover.
According to the information on the character that was obtained by Entertainment Weekly, Forest doesn’t actually care a whole lot about revealing the truth.
News broke today that the next crossover for the Dick Wolf shows, which will take place across Chicago Fire, Chicago P.D. and Chicago Justice, will include Bradley Whitford in the role of Albert Forest, a very powerful defense lawyer who basically wrote the book on the best way to cross examine witnesses on the stand.
He’s much more interested in the “appearance of reality,” and, in his ardent defense of his clients, he manages to lure prosecutors into a trap that he can use to unseat the cases they believe they’ve built.
