‘9-1-1’s Kenneth Choi Says He “Fought” Boss Tim Minear On Show’s Shocking Character Death: “This Doesn’t Make Any Sense”


'9-1-1' star Kenneth Choi discussed the loss of Peter Krause's Bobby, saying he 'fought' with showrunner Tim Minear about the creative decision.

In a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, the actor — who plays Chimney — discussed the loss, saying he “fought” with showrunner Tim Minear about the creative decision and went through “stages of grief” both as a performer and colleague. The episode — the latter half of the two-parter lab leak catastrophe the 118 crew is sent in to deal with — sees Bobby save Chim, giving him the last of the viral antidote while disguising the fact that he’s been succumbing to the illness himself. The devastating moment isn’t revealed until Bobby heroically seals off the doors to the lab, trapping himself inside to deter further spread of the dangerous virus.
