Actor Jason Beghe apologises for bad behaviour on TV set

G.I. Jane and Thelma & Louise actor Jason Beghe has apologised for his behaviour on the set of U.S. police drama Chicago P.D. after news of a 2016 investigation came to light on Tuesday (21Nov17).
The show’s leading man was investigated by NBC network officials after members of the cast and crew complained about his “inappropriate behaviour”.
“When it was brought to our attention that there were concerns about inappropriate behavior on set, we promptly began an investigation in partnership with Human Resources and all parties involved,” a statement given to Deadline from the network, Universal Television and Wolf Entertainment, reads. “As a result of the investigation, we have already taken action, and it is a situation we continue to monitor very closely to ensure all of our employees feel safe and supported.”
Beghe has released his own statement about the year-old drama, which reads: “I am deeply sorry for my behavior, which I know has been hurtful to my friends and colleagues.
“I have struggled with anger issues for some time, and over the past year, I have been working with a coach to help me learn how to mitigate my temper. It’s an ongoing process, and it has been a humbling one.”
“It is a source of great pride for me to be part of Chicago P.D.’s incredible cast and crew,” the actor added. “I have personally apologized to anyone who I have upset, and I am committed to doing what is necessary to make up any damage that I may have caused.”
According to sources, the NBC investigation led to executives demanding Beghe seek help for anger management issues.
