Contains spoilers for "Chicago P.D." Season 10, Episode 11
Officer Kevin Atwater has been a mainstay of "Chicago P.D." since 2014. LaRoyce Hawkins' character is fast nearing his 200th episode of the show, though if you count his appearances in other "One Chicago" shows, he's cleared that particular hurdle quite some time ago. During his lengthy time in the role, the actor has become a pretty seasoned "One Chicago" personality, and clearly continues to be enamored with the show himself. Hawkins has praised newer actors like Benjamin Levy Aguilar, and shared with Looper the heartwarming reason he likes to visit the "Chicago P.D." set.
"Chicago P.D." Season 10 Episode 11, "Long Lost," is a real treat to Atwater fans, as its plot focuses quite heavily on the character and his past. Atwater's less than inspirational family reunion is prime fodder for an actor, and fans have been delighted by Hawkins' incredible performance.
