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
