Actor Eamonn Walker hails from London, England, but you'd never know that watching him perform in NBC's hit drama "Chicago Fire." In the series, Walker plays Battalion Chief Wallace Boden leading the fictional Chicago firehouse 51 through the daily struggles and triumphs of saving lives in the Windy City.
Wallace has put in hard work to master the Chicago accent that he uses in the series and as he tells NBC10 anchor Jacqueline London, it's not always perfect.

His American Accent is so deap his real voice creaps me out

@MrPetepeeters101 4 года назад

His accent almost sounds strange. I've been watching Chicago Fire for many seasons. And I just decided to Google the actors and I clicked on his and it said he was from England. I was stunned. I just found this out about 5 minutes ago lol.

@missdir.980 4 года назад

pete peeters omg I just found out 2 minutes ago and I’ve been watching it since it came out. Another video of him and Jesse popped up and I had never seen him interviewed and I had to pause and rewind because I was soooo blown away! I had to google more interviews of him. He does his American accent so well. I didn’t

@missdir.980 4 года назад

He creates such a presence in how portrays the American accent. Love him

@AtelierofZ_Co24 4 года назад

he's a big guy with a strong presence so a deep commanding voice is necessary for the character.
