The Pitt’s Shawn Hatosy Loved Abbot at First Sight (of the Blood Bag)
For quite some time now, I’ve been portraying characters that are sensitive yet troubled, morally complex, and badass – from the conflicted football player in the ’90s cult hit The Faculty, the dangerous eldest son in TNT’s Animal Kingdom, to the tough-as-nails street cop dealing with his partner’s innocence in Southland. In the medical drama The Pitt, I get a fresh opportunity to channel all that built-up intensity. As ER attending physician Dr. Jack Abbot, I remain as focused and cunning as ever. But it’s a breath of fresh air, I admit, to step into the shoes of a character who isn’t as harsh and on edge as the ones I typically play.
