It’s been a while since The Chi fans have seen actor Barton Fitzpatrick. He starred as Reg, the older brother of Jake, on the Showtime drama for two seasons before being killed off at the conclusion of Season 2. Since his departure, it’s been rumored that the reason he exited the show was due to him having to have a love interest who is a transgender woman, which he denied. While he remains part of the acting world, he’s dealing with some personal trauma after recently being robbed at gunpoint.
