Why Blythe Hart From 9-1-1: Nashville Looks So Familiar
Before 9-1-1: Nashville, the actress playing Blythe Hart spent years on a beloved medical drama. Her Hollywood connections might surprise you, too.
Jessica Capshaw, known for her role as Arizona Robbins on Grey's Anatomy, is familiar to many Blythe Hart fans from 9-1-1: Nashville. However, Capshaw's acting career extends far beyond those two characters. Prior to joining Grey's Anatomy, she portrayed Dr. Arizona Robbins in the show for several years. Apart from Grey's Anatomy, Capshaw has had notable roles in various TV series such as Tell Me Lies, The L Word, and Bones, as well as in films like Minority Report and Holidate.
Capshaw's family is also connected to the entertainment industry. Her mother, Kate Capshaw, is an actress who later married director Steven Spielberg. Capshaw herself has family ties to the industry as well.
Despite the differences in their characters, Capshaw believes that both Arizona Robbins and Blythe Hart bring warmth to their respective environments. She observed this when transitioning from Grey's Anatomy to 9-1-1: Nashville. Capshaw feels that Blythe has a lightness about her that complements the heavier situations the character faces, much like Arizona brought lightness to Grey's Anatomy.
