Joe Miñoso

The 300th episode of “Chicago Fire” marks the last for Joe Miñoso’s Joe Cruz, who has also been on the show since the beginning. Taylor Kinney says he had a “visceral, raw” reaction to filming the final Severide and Cruz scene: “It’s one of those things that I’ll never forget. We spend a lot of time together, and at times, more than family. Starting out, these were 15- to 16-hour days, sometimes six days a week. Joe’s been my right-hand man for the past almost a decade, and there’s a lot of time spent looking someone in the eye, telling the truth. It’s just an intimate relationship. So to have a scene where the art imitates life and vice versa… it was raw, it was real, and it was honest. I cherish that moment, and that’ll be with me forever.” Read the full interview: wp.me/pc8uak-1lI43u
