When it comes to commanding presence, no one does it quite like Peter Krause — and behind the scenes of 9-1-1, that presence shines even brighter.

In newly released photos from the set, Krause is seen fully embodying his role as Captain Bobby Nash — but this time, not in the middle of a rescue, but anchoring the emotional energy behind the scenes. Dressed in the signature LAFD uniform shirt and wearing his familiar headset, Peter doesn’t just look the part — he is the part.

Now heading into Season 8, Bobby Nash continues to be the moral compass and emotional anchor of Station 118. But off-camera, Krause brings that same steady calm and professionalism to the set. Cast and crew alike have praised his leadership, not only for his powerful performances but for the quiet confidence he exudes in every moment — whether he’s reviewing a script, supporting his co-stars, or simply sharing a laugh at craft services.

Bobby has weathered everything — trauma, grief, and high-pressure rescues — and his character arc has become one of the most compelling emotional journeys in the show. That’s largely due to Krause’s grounded performance, consistently bringing gravitas and depth to every scene.

As 9-1-1 moves forward under its new home on ABC, one thing is certain: Peter Krause remains the steady heartbeat of the show. And if these behind-the-scenes moments are any indication, Bobby Nash still has more stories to tell — both on duty and at the heart of his firehouse family.
