Joe Miñoso says a return to Chicago Fire as Joe Cruz has not been ruled out, and that he has secured a directing role on a series in the One Chicago franchise, according to comingsoon.net. The actor said neither he nor showrunner Victor Teran has closed the door on Cruz coming back to the drama.
Any comeback would take the form of a guest appearance rather than a full-time return, Miñoso indicated.
On the directing side, Miñoso said he has shadowed productions extensively during his time on the show, experience he is now putting to use behind the camera on the franchise.
Cruz previously left Firehouse 51 after 15 seasons, retiring from the CFD to focus on his family ahead of newborn twins.
