Other fans recognized him as the beloved and hardworking Lieutenant Christopher Herrmann on “Chicago Fire.”
In fact, he reacted to praise from “Chicago Fire” showrunner Derek Haas with embarrassment.
“That’s very sweet.
However, Eigenberg also argued, “I’m not a ‘best’ guy.
Like when someone says, ‘You know what the best hamburger is?’
I care about having a good hamburger.”
As for why he’s consistently typecast within a certain kind of role, Eigenberg has a theory.
“There’s something about my personality about that bartending thing,” Eigenberg opined to Entertainment Weekly.
“I find it weird because I’ve been sober for 34 years.”
As such, his bartending roles are “just a weird coincidence.
I guess there’s just a part of me that I guess is part of me.”
