Why Elliot Knox From Chicago P.D. Looks So Familiar

Arguably Jon Beavers' most well-known role is as Jake Dunmore, an old criminal accomplice and boyfriend of Smurf (Ellen Barkin)'s, in Seasons 4 and 5 of TNT family crime drama "Animal Kingdom." While Jake is a presence in earlier seasons as well, the first episode of Season 4 flashes back to events roughly thirty years before the show's main timeline, during which Jake is portrayed by Beavers. Since this storyline continues both throughout Season 4 and even into Season 5, Beavers has remained a key member of the show's cast since then.

In fact, Beavers has become an important enough part of the story told by "Animal Kingdom" in its later seasons, despite his character only existing in the series' past, that he's expected to return in the forthcoming Season 6. For now, however, Beavers' role in the sixth season is unconfirmed, with his next big credit instead being in the upcoming "Bel-Air" as a character named Kylo.
