Such is the case for “Chicago Fire” starDavid Eigenberg.

“It was scary,” he toldUs Weekly, reflecting on reprising the role.

“I’ve always been an in and out guy.

I say that on ‘Sex and the City!’

I pop in and pop out, so I was trying to find my sea legs a little bit.

But it was fun, we snapped back into it.

It’s always great seeing the same lovely faces.”

That role was hard-won for him.

“But it sounds pretentious but I’m not [averse] to going through hard times.

But Eigenberg has found luck in one area of his life: his wife Chrysti.

“We met right after 9/11,” he said, per Us Weekly.

Through their relationship, he learned to put someone else first.

Then, the “real work” came when Chrysti miscarried a child.

“We lost a baby at 16 weeks.

So we had to find our way through that.”

Ultimately, they did find their way.
