A few “Chicago Fire” actors may come to mind when you think of those that are truly gifted. For Newman, Daniel Kyri, who plays firefighter Darren Ritter, deserves a special mention.

“We love him; he’s so great,” says Newman. “He’s another one we always find to be, as we say, lightning in a bottle. You find these actors who can do all these things that our show requires, from action to romance to comedy, and it’s gold. He’s got it all.”

While Ritter hasn’t been in the forefront much this season, the “Chicago Fire” showrunner promises that more screentime is in his future, especially when it comes to his friendship with Gallo (Alberto Rosende) and Violet, who suffered a tragic loss in Episode 3 of the current season.

“[More of that friendship] will definitely return,” says Newman. “We love it. Gallo and Ritter are a huge part of Violet’s life. That friendship, that triangle, is going to be a big part of her life in this season.”

Season 11 of “Chicago Fire” airs on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
