Who Plays Blake Gallo From Chicago Fire?
By BRANDON SHOAFF
Blake Gallo on “Chicago Fire” is known for his attitude, exuberance, and recklessness, and the actor who plays him, Alberto Rosende, may look familiar to fans.
After playing an unnamed stripper in a 2013 short film, Rosende’s first named role as high schooler Carlos Santiago occurred in a Season 5 episode of “Blue Bloods.”
In 2016, Rosende portrayed another high school student on yet another police procedural — this time as Jordan Messina on “Law & Order: SVU” in the “Catfishing Teacher” episode.
Rosende gained significant recognition from his role as Simon Lewis in the 2016 series “Shadowhunters,” where he appeared in all 55 episodes.
As the show’s best friend of Clary Fairchild, Rosende’s character experienced a rollercoaster of relationships and powers, even becoming a vampire at one point.
After “Shadowhunters,” Rosende seamlessly transitioned to “Chicago Fire,” where audiences continue to enjoy his presence in the “One Chicago” franchise.
