Daniel Kyri says starring in 'Chicago Fire' has 'forced' him to widen an otherwise narrow view of what he thought was possible for him as a queer actor.
has"forced" him to widen an otherwise narrow view of what he thought was possible for him as a queer actor.
"In a lot of ways, it's forced me to grow up," he says."I was a person who had a lot of outdated, maybe even preconceived, notions about how to be a successful actor and the ways in which I imagined I'd have to twist myself out of shape to fit into some kind of mold. The opportunity to just fully go there and be the representation that I needed when I was growing up is really, truly something that has made me as Daniel Kyri the actor blossom.
"I don't like words like 'tolerance' and things like that because I believe the implications are dangerous and one-sided as if there is a majority group that we have to beg approval from," he explains."I reject that idea. However, I still say I just think empathy and an opportunity to really learn from someone like Ritter, someone who, sure — represents a lot of things for the LGBTQ+ community — but is also just a person.
"I am a person now when I've been invited into someone's home, I'm looking for the fire extinguisher and checking the batteries in the smoke detector just to be like, 'OK, everything's good here,'" he describes."It's up to code."
