The pitt slowly suggested that Patrick BallThe character, Langdon, was stealing drugs in the hospital, but somehow still surprised when the program confirmed his addiction.
During Thursday, March 6, episode of Max’s medical series, Dr. Santos (Isa Briones) expressed his concerns to Robby (Noah Wyle) On the missing pills and a manipulated bottle of Lorazepam. Robby faced Langdon about discrepancyWhich caused the big resident to be dismissed from his position at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Hospital.
“All credit goes to our creator R. Scott Gemmill And writers because you never think when it comes to addiction, “said Ball exclusively Use weekly About Langdon recognizing his problem. “Addiction is a disease and it is a disease that many people fight, including many people I know.”
Ball noted the intention to make the man on the right of Robby fight secretly, adding: “People do not go out and tell you that he is an addict. The person may not be the one in a chair. It can be the quarterback of the football team. You do not know why the person next to you passes. “”
According to the actor, the writers’ room was “Really fantastic to be really measured“In suggestions and clues that lead to revelation.
“(Also it was) to ensure that we represent this addiction in the most accurate and humanitarian and responsible way possible,” he continued. “It has been just an incredible pleasure and honor to be part of telling this story.”
The pittwhich was released in January, was introduced Us to a group of employees from a fictional hospital working on a single 15 -hour emergency department shift. While Langdon quickly trained a professional bond with Dr. Mel King (Taylor Dearden), it was not so receptive to the mentoring of Dr. Santos. Later, the inmate collected Langdon’s questionable behavior, but signs were also there for viewers.

“He refers to being wounded on his back as his parents help move and this is often the case. He goes to a doctor who gives him medicines against pain, and then they are medicines against the pain that form habits. This is all the time. This happens with people who know that they have a very, very high function,” said Ball. “You see this opioid problem that only moves away throughout this country. It is really sad because they are not people who never set out to be addicted. It is the people who trust and get trapped in a trap. This is part of what happened to Langdon.”
Out of screen, ball used his personal connection In the story of the story to help base the characterization of Langdon.
“I have someone in my life who is the star of the family, he directed the family farm and then I pulled his knee working one day. He goes to a doctor, puts medicines for pain, and then he is just a slippery slope and only control of your life,” he said. “There is also an element that this type of self-medication is something that is not uncommon among emergency workers. Every day they treat many trauma and many unprocessed feelings. It is not uncommon for people to mediate when they are in this situation.”
He continued: “Therefore, to be able to raise awareness -so it is not like” Oh, this is a junk doctor. “
The revelation of Langdon also claims Dr. Santos. Before Thursday’s episode, Briones, 26, spoke Us around As viewers may be judging – Character too quickly considering that he was correct in his worries about Langdon.
“Not everyone will like Santos. But it is funny that when I talked to people, even on Plato, it would be like: “Oh, you are a tattlelle”. At the end of the day, however, this was something that happened and she exposed it, “Briones told us.” Obviously, he has a very aggressive way and can be quite arrogant. Bringing -so it takes people to be like, “What the hell do you do? Be -you are in your lane. At the end of the day it was something that was wrong and you needed to be denounced. It’s illegal.”

Briones relieved that Santos was right, adding: “It’s a great time for the audience to be” OK, maybe it was correct to her. I don’t like it. I don’t like what he did, but maybe he was right. Will the audience also wonder what their bias was there? People wanted to like it, but if Langdon does something wrong, why they choose to cover a man instead of believing a woman. This is what made this story very interesting. “”
Regardless of which side of the conversation each viewer enters, the dance performance has received praise from critics and fans. Dance was excited to have The pitt be their first television role, apart from a fast Law and order Place of guests.
“It was absolutely perfect. I couldn’t dream of a better television program better. I have spent a little over 10 years doing theater, doing plays and this is the perfect place for a theater person. We move fast. And I was told that the way the actors usually return to their small trailer, and then the crew set up the lights and set the Dolly and set up all this, “he said. “Then go to find the actors, who go out and (after they filmed their scene), then return to the trailer. But with that, there is nothing about it.”
Ball emphasized as There was no “stage” In a program like The pitt.
“We are all in all the time. The whole crew is ready with us and creates only this mass. You are only part of the world. Once you are there, you are only there and everyone is there, “he took. “There is no time to put it on your mind. We will achieve, then we will shoot, then we will go directly to the rehearsal, then we will shoot and there is no rest. “
