Also in attendance is actor Taylor Kinney (37), who has been firefighter Kelly Severide since the first episode. Also in the series offshoots "Chicago P.D." and "Chicago Med" he is always seen in guest appearances. Reason enough to look back on the career of 1981 born in the State of Pennsylvania Kinney.
His beginnings
Kinney grows up with three brothers with his single mother. After graduating from high school, he first studied business management at West Virginia University until he finally discovered acting.
After his first TV roles in series such as "Bones - The Bone Hunter", "Trauma", "CSI: New York" or "Rizzoli & Isles" he succeeds with the mystery series "Vampire Diaries" the big breakthrough. As the werewolf Mason Lockwood he conquered in the second season the hearts of many teen fans. But his character dies by the hands of Ian Somerhalder (40) aka Damon Salvatore serial death. This is followed by other roles in the TV productions "Dating Rules from My Future Self", "Shameless" and "Castle".
Lady Gaga and more
Finally, Kinney's appearance in the music video "Yoü and I" by pop star Lady Gaga (32, "A Star Is Born") ensures worldwide attention. The two become a couple and get engaged on Valentine's Day 2015. In the middle of 2016, however, the relationship is breaking up.
From the shadow of his famous ex-girlfriend Kinney has long since solved. In the cinema, he gets a role in Kathryn Bigelow's (67) war thriller "Zero Dark Thirty" (2012). He also turns his head to Cameron Diaz, 46, in Damage Lovers (2014). In the horror film "The Forest" (2016) he fears for his life together with "Game of Thrones" star Natalie Dormer (37).
The Chicago family
But his biggest success so far is his role in the Chicago family. As firefighter Kelly Severide, Taylor Kinney has been through a lot in Chicago Fire. He is considered a notorious womanizer and hothead and rarely adheres to the specifications of his superiors. As the son of the retired firefighter Benny Severide (Treat Williams) he wants to make his own name. The respect of his colleagues is certain to him, but he has to cope privately quite a few blows. His best friend Leslie Shay (Lauren German) dies in a firefighting operation; Anna Turner (Charlotte Sullivan), who suffers from leukemia, loses the fight against cancer despite Severides' bone marrow donation.
#Stellaride
When finally firefighter Stella Kidd (Miranda Rae Mayo) takes up duty in the guard, she plunges Severide into a feeling of chaos. The two are old friends and get closer and closer with time. In season six, they become a couple, and Severide makes a touching declaration of love in the season finale: "Everything I think about is you". However, in Season seven, new trouble threatens - because Severide does not seem to have his jealousy under control, which puts their relationship to the test. In addition, Severide gets another stroke of fate that he can not handle. Does her love have a chance?
It would be a big blow to all fans if the relationship between Kelly Severide and Stella Kidd would actually break. The two figures are among the fan favorites of the series. In the net fans talk about the relationship under the hashtag #Stellaride wild. In addition, with Gabby Dawson (Monica Raymund) and Matt Casey (Jesse Spencer) have already adopted a dream couple from the series. Raymund has left the series to devote himself to new projects. Serial husband Matt remains alone. Let's hope that #Stellaride has a happy ending.
