Williams, perhaps best known for his role as Dr. Andy Brown on Everwood, most recently recurred on USA's White Collar.
Repped by APA, the Schiff Co. and attorney George Sheanshang, Williams' feature credits include Deadfall, The Eagle Has Landed and 127 Hours. He next appears in three upcoming features, In the Blood, Barefood and Persecuted.
Williams joins Fairly Legal alum Sarah Shahi, who will play a love interest for Kelly, as having booked recurring roles on the firefighter drama.
Chicago Fire airs Wednesdays at 10 p.m. on NBC.
