Fans of "Chicago Fire" are hoping Joe Cruz will name his new baby after a fallen friend. During the show's 8th season premiere, firefighter Brian "Otis" Zvonecek was killed (via The Sun). Cruz and Otis were close friends, and Cruz was present when Otis passed away. He even said to him, "Brother, I will be with you, always," in Russian as he died. What a sad story!
Fans were devastated that the show killed off Otis, a favorite within the cast. When asked why they chose to kill him off, executive producer Derek Haas said, "We thought, what if we killed off Otis and he dies heroically? We realized there was so much emotional landscape we could cover."
This is where speculation over Cruz's baby's name comes into play. Fans are hoping that he will name his baby Otis as a tribute to his fallen friend (via FanSided). Whether it's used as a first or middle name doesn't matter, fans just want to see Cruz movingly honor his friend!
