Daniel Kyri opens up about playing Darren Ritter

In a 2022 interview with Looper, the actor discussed what makes Ritter such a complicated character to play on Chicago Fire.

“Ritter is the kind of guy whose heart is on his sleeve and there is a sense of presence and vulnerability to the way in which he carries himself,” he told the outlet. “Whether it’s on the job, in the action, you see moments of him interacting with some of the victims on the show or some of the folks that they’re rescuing and there’s always a sense of humanity and connection for him. Even in the midst of the bigger job, which is ‘got to put the fire out, got to save the people, got to do all the things,’ he always has that moment of connection. That is because he’s such a heart-on-the-sleeve kind of guy.”

He continued, “Darren Ritter has a great sense of intuition about people and about what they might be going through, and that is because he is a person who has encountered mental health crises in the past, personally, like with his deceased uncle. That actually has a bigger bearing on how he moves through the world than we might be able to pick up on the surface, so, maybe it’s not the world’s most surprising thing, but it is something that I think is always sort of present.”
