Angela Bassett and Peter Krause worked together on 9-1-1 for eight seasons - playing a married couple for seven - and their bond was evident from the jump. "He's just so strong, and stable, and secure," Bassett told People in March 2025 of her longtime scene partner Krause. The twosome began playing police officer Athena Grant and firefighter captain Bobby Nash, respectively on 9-1-1 in 2018 when the series was on Fox. During season 2, their characters got married and in 2024 the actors made the jump with their castmates from Fox to ABC for season 7.
