Overview
- In a Cultured interview published Tuesday, the 36-year-old said he cleared about $80,000 in student loans three months after being cast on HBO Max’s The Pitt.
- He grew emotional describing the debt as a heavy burden that strained past relationships and felt permanent.
- Before the role, he juggled work in cafes and restaurants, assisted wardrobe on And Just Like That…, and acted in corporate training sessions at firms like Goldman Sachs, BlackRock, and Blackstone.
- He said he even weighed leaving acting for more stable paths, including the FBI or the Merchant Marines, during a low point about six months before the casting.
- The Emmy-winning medical drama is in Season 2 with a third season ordered, and his turn as Dr. Frank Langdon has brought a SAG ensemble win and a Critics’ Choice nomination.
