Daniel Kyri, known for his role as Firefighter Darren Ritter on Chicago Fire, recently gave fans a positive update after a health scare. The actor shared that he’s finally out of the hospital and feeling “much better,” much to the relief of his followers.
Daniel Kyri’s Journey on Chicago Fire
Since joining the cast in Season 7, Daniel Kyri has become an essential part of the Chicago Fire family. His character, Darren Ritter, made his debut in the second episode of that season, titled “Going to War.” Over 100 episodes later, Ritter continues to be a vital member of Firehouse 51.
Recently, Ritter’s role on the show took a turn when he was assigned to Truck 81, now working directly under Lieutenant Stella Kidd instead of Lieutenant Christopher Herrmann. This change allowed for new dynamics and fresh interactions, especially with Firefighter Sam Carver, adding an interesting twist to the storyline.
It’s hard to believe that Kyri is now in his seventh season, especially since he joined the series well after it had already become a fan favorite. His long tenure is a testament to his talent and the love fans have for his character.
