Actor Joe Minoso, who plays the character of Joe Cruz, is exiting Firehouse 51 during the show’s upcoming season. Minoso was considered a recurring character in the opening season and a main cast member ever since. Along with David Eigenberg, Christian Stolte, and Taylor Kinney, Minoso is one of only four remaining original cast members on Chicago Fire. Prior to the massive fire that ended the season, Minoso’s character, Cruz, finds out that he and his wife are expecting twins. He’s also reprised his role of Joe Cruz in Chicago Fire spinoffs, Chicago P.D.
