I went through a period in my 20s where I read all of Jim Thompson and all of those writers. I just went through and through and through all of that stuff, so I was pretty well-versed in the medium and the genre.

Against that backdrop, the co-stars' bond makes a glorious statement: They're hunky, they're hilarious, they're besties - and they don't care who knows it.

The Pitt is so back, and with it comes a cast of TV veterans and fresh-faced med students alike. The HBO Max medical drama's real-time format - each episode covers one hour of an ER shift - presents a unique challenge for its ensemble of actors. Fortunately, they've heeded the call: Noah Wyle, Katherine LaNasa, and Shawn Hatosy all won Emmys for their performances in Season 1. Behind the scenes, casting directors Cathy Sandrich Gelfond and Erica Berger earned the show the distinction of Outstanding Casting for a Drama Series.

The role, which spanned nine films, put him up among the world's highest paid actors and made him a global pin-up. Yet the confidence was, in part, a construction.
