Peter Krause's extensive television career, spanning decades and including notable roles in "9-1-1" and "Parenthood," traces back to his first starring role in 1995. He appeared in Fox's legal drama "The Great Defender," created by Frank Renzulli.
Krause portrayed Crosby Caufield III, a lawyer with a refined demeanor, playing opposite Michael Rispoli's character, Lou Frischetti. Frischetti was a brash Boston attorney known for defending unsavory clients using any means necessary.
"The Great Defender" ultimately had a very brief run, with only eight episodes produced. The series premiered in 1995 but quickly faded from public memory due to its limited broadcast.
