Rains' departure fits his character's storyline. In the Chicago Med finale that aired May 24, Dr. Marcel was grappling with the death of one of his patients, a boy, and the boy's father. The situation was brutal: The boy had been scheduled to undergo a liver transplant, but Dr. Marcel called it off after his patient caught an infection. His father begged the doctor to go forward anyway, and when the boy ultimately did die, the father took his own life. Struggling with a tragic situation, which reminded him of the death of his baby daughter, the physician was directed by S. Epatha Merkerson's Sharon Goodwin to take as much time as he needs to recover from the devastating events.

The actor, who began his stint on the NBC series as a recurring character before becoming an official cast member, has appeared in 93 of the show's 177 episodes, according to IMDb. He's also appeared in Chicago P.D. and Chicago Fire.

Aside from his work on the show co-created by Dick Wolf and Matt Olmstead, Rains starred in Burn Country, a 2016 film with Rachel Brosnahan, James Franco, and Melissa Leo, and he portrayed a CIA instructor in Captain America: The Winter Solider in 2014. Before that, he put on a doctor's coat for another role, Dr. Leo Julian, on General Hospital.
