Petersen made his Broadway debut in a revival of Tennessee Williams' "The Night of The Iguana." In 1979 he founded the Remains Theater Ensemble in Chicago with a group of fellow actors. He has appeared in a number of regional stage productions including "A Streetcar Named Desire," "The Time of Your Life," "Glengarry Glen Ross," "Fool for Love" and "Speed-the-Plow." After nine seasons, Petersen decided to leave CSI in 2009 to resume his career as a theater actor.

On February 3, 2009, Petersen was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
