Shawn Hatosy on ‘The Pitt,’ Emmys, and Finding Fame at 50

Emmy-winning actor Shawn Hatosy joins Matt Wilstein to discuss the massive success of The Pitt, the show's 25 Emmy nominations, and why Dr. Jack Abbott has become one of television's most beloved characters. Hatosy opens up about directing episodes of the hit HBO Max medical drama, working with John Wells and Noah Wyle, the possibility of a The Pitt night shift spinoff, and the emotional impact the series has had on viewers considering careers in medicine. He also reflects on the highs and lows of his 30-year acting career, the iconic roles he almost landed—including Breaking Bad, Star Wars, and Sons of Anarchy—and why winning his first Emmy has changed everything.
