Quotes
Shawn Hatosy
Actor, playing Dr. Jack Abbot in The Pitt
“I’m up there on the roof with an actor who is giving everything. It didn’t matter if it was a wide shot. It didn’t matter if the camera was on me. We shot that scene for hours longer than we ever shoot on a genre-type show, because we were outside. It was different. It was at night, not something our cinematographer had been really doing up to that point. So we spent a lot of time up there. And this man [he gestures to Wyle] he was showing trauma in a way that you had to receive and respond to. It was a lesson in just being there. And I thank him for that, because it really made my performance stick out.”

“The rooftop scene in this episode was my second day, and I kind of had heard a little bit … [Gemmill] sent me something that explained a little bit of Abbot’s backstory, so I knew that there was an event, and then we had a little discussion, but I didn’t know very much.”

Noah Wyle
Actor in The Pitt
“The focus was always on the mental health of people that are in these jobs. That was what the thesis was in Season 1. The fragility of our system is commensurate with the fragility of the practitioners, and if we support them well and we respect them, we would all be better off.”

“Everybody has been through a mass casualty event. Now everybody’s 10 months more advanced in their career and has their own personal pressures to bear.”

Katherine LaNasa
Actress, playing Dana Evans in The Pitt
“Dana’s sort of a person of power, right? And then she gets humiliated, and to play the response to that physical and emotional humiliation … was very interesting.”

“To be honest with you, I’m terrified of not doing a good job. I just really want to do a great job, so I just look at the scripts, try to play the scenes for what they’re worth, take their notes, and ask, is this kind of like what we’re going for?”
