Daniel Kyri does not appear in Chicago Fire season 13 episode 13, “Born of Fire” — here’s why Ritter was MIA!
Eagle-eyed fans watching Chicago Fire tonight are likely going to notice one member of Firehouse 51 surprisingly missing in action. This is because episode 13, “Born of Fire” will not feature Daniel Kyri’s character, Darren Ritter, making him the latest Chicago Fire actor to miss an episode of season 13.
That’s right, it’s apparently Kyri’s turn to sit out an episode of the season – a trend that has become incredibly common this season with many series regulars missing an episode here and there. The good news is that Ritter will be back in action before you know it, but that still begs the question, where was Ritter in this episode?
Warning spoilers ahead for Chicago Fire season 13, episode 13, “Born of Fire,” are ahead.
Ritter is on vacation, but should be back soon!
As is often the case when Chicago Fire actors have missed an episode this season, Ritter’s absence in “Born of Fire” was explained via a quick conversation in the show at the end of the episode. So what is Ritter up to that is keeping him out of action for episode 13? Well, it seems that Ritter has decided to take a well-deserved vacation.
The reveal came courtesy of a quick conversation between Novak and Violet in which Novak casually mentioned that Ritter had called hundreds of times to check in while out of town on a mountain vacation. It was a great way to casually explain to viewers why Ritter wasn’t present in the episode, but it also came very quickly making it easy for fans to miss the moment.
