TV Vet Krause Tackles Murderous Family Drama

Peter Krause, a familiar face in network television, is taking on a new role in NBC's "Line of Fire." He plays Mike Hollingsworth, a secret service agent whose family members work across different law enforcement agencies. Their lives become complicated when they are targeted by a serial killer. This new series marks Krause's return to NBC, where he previously starred in "Parenthood."

Krause is known for his extensive television career, including roles in "Six Feet Under" and "Sports Night." Most recently, he concluded an eight-season run as Fire Capt. Bobby Nash on "9-1-1," a character whose death in 2025 was a significant plot point. He expressed fondness for his "9-1-1" role but is excited about the distinct challenges of "Line of Fire."

The new drama, created by Joshua Safran, blends family dynamics with suspense and crime. Krause was drawn to the inventive script, which immerses viewers in the complex Hollingsworth family's relationships and their duty to protect the country. The show is currently filming its first season and may see an expanded episode count.
