Interview: Jennifer Love Hewitt Talks Maddie's Season Nine Journey and Growing with '9-1-1' - Awards Radar
One aspect that makes 9-1-1 stand out is that it puts the spotlight on different fields of first responders, including firefighters, police officers, dispatchers, and, most likely, nurses in the upcoming tenth season. Everything is connected thanks to our lead characters, and no one better represents that than Maddie, portrayed by Jennifer Love Hewitt. She is a 911 dispatcher, linked to the 118 by her brother, Evan “Buck” Buckley (Oliver Stark), and her husband, Howie “Chimney” Han (Kenneth Choi).
