After years of playing a lieutenant, "Law & Order" alumna S. Epatha Merkerson is moving to the world of medicine.
The actress will star in the potential "Chicago Med", which will be introduced this season as an hour of the mothership series "Chicago Fire".
Per our sister site Deadline, Merkerson will appear in Episode 19 of "Fire" as Sharon Goodwin, the head of the hospital which serves as the setting for "Med".
Though she doesn’t love the politics that go into running the establishment and has little patience for foolishness, Sharon excels at keeping the doors open.
The casting reunites the actress with "Law & Order" and "Chicago Fire" executive producer Dick Wolf.
