In The Pitt, Dr. Robby (Noah Wyle) leads a team at the Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital emergency room through a fifteen-hour work shift. One of Dr. Robby’s most dependable colleagues is Dr. Cassie McKay (Fiona Dourif), who is navigating her own complicated family situation and the unfortunate handicap of having to wear an ankle monitor which seems to repeatedly go off at the worst possible times.
Awards Buzz spoke with Dourif about how much she felt like Cassie was a version of her and how that attracted her to the role. Watch the video above to hear about the positive experience of working with her real-life father Brad Dourif when he was cast as Cassie’s father.
Season one of The Pitt is streaming on Max.
