The Pitt star Patrick Ball has revealed how the show helped him pay off an $80,000 debt, a burden he thought he'd carry forever.
In an interview, Patrick broke down in tears, sharing how paying off his student loans was a 'profound moment' after three months of working on the show.
Patrick, who plays Dr Langdon on the show, incurred the debt while studying journalism at the University of North Carolina and later completing a BFA from the University of North Carolina at Greensboro.
Before landing his lead role on The Pitt, Patrick worked a variety of jobs, including seminars where he was hired to be fired by young administrators.
The Pitt, a medical drama starring Noah Wyle, has been a huge success, winning five Emmys for its first season, including Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Casting.
