“9-1-1: Nashville” recruited a “Grey’s Anatomy” alum for its growing cast. Jessica Capshaw, who played Dr. Arizona Robbins on the ABC medical drama, will join Chris O’Donnell as a series regular on the ABC spinoff series from Tim Minear and Ryan Murphy.
Capshaw will play the mother of the series lead, who’s yet to be cast, and wife to O’Donnell’s Captain Don Sharpe, according to media reports.
ABC and 20th Television declined to comment on Capshaw’s casting.
A character description for Don said that the character is “a rugged fire captain and rodeo rider who runs Nashville’s busiest firehouse with his beloved son.”
