Why Chicago Fire fans recognize Annabeth Gish
Gish boasts a multi-decade career in both film and television, delivering countless unforgettable performances akin to her recent splash as
Davis on Season 14 of Chicago Fire. In addition to starring opposite Julia Roberts in the smash 1988 romantic comedy Mystic Pizza, Gish appeared in big screen must-sees like Nixon, Beautiful Girls, and SLC Punk!

The 54-year-old has starred in dozens of television series, gracing viewers with dynamite recurring appearances in shows like Courthouse, CSI: Miami, and The West Wing. Some of her other prominent television roles include playing Eileen Caffee in Brotherhood, Charlotte Millwright in The Bridge, Lieutenant Althea Jarry in Sons of Anarchy, and Dr. Anne Sullivan in Pretty Little Liars.

In addition to recurring as Monica Reyes in four seasons of The X-Files, Gish also starred in The Mayfair Witches and Mike Flanagan’s thrillers The Haunting of Hill House and Midnight Mass. In 2017, she guest-starred as Carolyn Rivers in a Season 19 episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit. Gish continues to steal the show on Chicago Fire, and Chihards can’t wait to see where her story heads next.
“I was just wondering if maybe sometime you and I go grab a drink,” Davis said warmly. “It’s just that in my experience, it’s a rare thing to meet a man who isn’t intimidated by a woman in my position. But no pressure, obviously.”
Pascal was downright gobsmacked, struggling to answer Davis.
“Well, it’s just… I’m um, married,” Pascal choked out, grimacing while adding, “I was.”
Pascal stammered that he wasn’t “in a place” to go grab drinks, awkwardly thanking Davis for her time before high-tailing it to the elevator. As he pressed the button frantically, Pascal glanced down at his ringless hand in panic.
Pascal let Kelly Severide (Taylor Kinney) in on what he learned from Davis, revealing that she leaked the intel to him right before asking him out, much to Severide’s surprise. But Pascal remained skeptical about the flirtatious “politico,” suspicious that Davis was working some angle just to get a source close to the ground.
“Or maybe she just likes you,” Severide shrugged as Pascal changed the subject.
