Shawn Hatosy spills that his current Emmy nomination for the HBO medical drama The Pitt, where he plays Dr. Jack Abbot, won’t change him: “I still see myself as a working-class actor.”
This series reunites Shawn with fellow artists Noah Wyle and John Wells, diving deep into the chaos and grit of a beleaguered Pittsburgh hospital.

We adore Shawn Hatosy. Till this day, we still remember buying a theatre ticket and catching The Faculty on its opening weekend—circa 1998! Hatosy plays Stan Rosado, alongside Josh Hartnett. It was a definite eye-gasm for us growing up. Coming of age, indeed.
Shawn has stacked up 100-plus TV episodes over the years. The writer-producer fought to include the then-little-known character actor as a lead in Animal Kingdom. Then last year, around the time he enlisted Hatosy to direct and recur in Rescue: HI-Surf, Wells offered his longtime utility player the role of Dr. Jack Abbot, a combat medic turned emergency physician, in The Pitt.
In case you didn’t know—now you’re in the know, Care Bears.
