There are two kinds of fans when it comes to The Pitt: people who are obsessed with Dr. Ever since the night-shift attending strolled into Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center with his go-bag and thousand-yard stare, Shawn Hatosy has had our undivided attention. Season 2 gave us even more of him (plus an episode he directed), and he picked up another Emmy nom to go with the Emmy he already won for Season 1.
All of that is well and good. The fact that we have to wait until January 2027 for Season 3 to hit HBO Max. That’s a long time to go without our guy.
Happily, though, Hatosy has been out here doing excellent work for decades, meaning there’s a deep bench of Shawn Hatosy movies and TV shows to carry us through to his next night shift. Floppy-haired-’90s-boyfriend Hatosy. We sorted his best work by what kind of mood you’re in, so you can hop around to find whatever Hatosy you want.
Something you may not know: The Pitt is actually Hatosy’s fifth project with executive producer John Wells, making the first four about the closest you’ll get to more Abbot. Who’s ready for some super competent but also slightly haunted men? Hatosy plays Sammy Bryant, an LAPD detective turned patrol officer: funny, loyal, grieving, wound extremely tight.
Sort of Abbot with a badge. And as a huge bonus, the rest of the cast is just as killer, including Regina King, Ben McKenzie, and Michael Cudlitz. Where to stream: Netflix, Prime Video, Roku If you’d like to see Hatosy in an edgier role, look no further than his six-season turn as Andrew “Pope” Cody, the oldest and most dangerous son in a Southern California crime family run by Ellen Barkin’s Janine “Smurf” Cody.
Hatosy toes the line here between terrifying and heartbreaking, keeping you rapt every time he enters a scene. OK, so this one didn’t last long, but it’s a fun little sidequest. Hatosy recurs as Clayton Emerson, a politician tangled up with the lifeguards of O’ahu’s North Shore.
