It's time to find out which character from The Pitt you are. This very prompt has the light yet revealing aura of the moment, and the cast of The Pitt is exactly the one to have it. They participated in a BuzzFeed Celeb personality test that paired them up with their own show characters.
The segment does not get into storylines or what happens next but rather uses humor, relatability, and candid reactions to entertain and engage. The video, which is part of BuzzFeed Celeb's interview series, shows The Pitt multiple cast members opting for a casual quiz.
Shawn Hatosy, during the segment, read out a hypothetical prompt and asked the cast to select a character from a different television show that could come to The Pitt and assist in a trauma situation. To this, Shawn Hatosy read the options as,
"Christina Yang from Grey's Anatomy. Doug Ross from ER, Hawkeye Pierce from Mac, obviously JD from Scrubs, Gregory from House, and Buck from 91."
The group ultimately agreed on Hawkeye Pierce as their shared answer. The actors, through a combination of everyday questions, come to know which character traits from the show closely match their real-life personalities, thus giving the viewers a laid-back and informal glimpse of the cast.
Cast members featured in the segment of The Pitt segment
The quiz comprises the whole cast, among others, Katherine LaNasa, Patrick Ball, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, Supriya Ganesh, Shabana Azeez, Fiona Dourif, Shawn Hatosy, and Sepideh Moafi. Every single cast member took the quiz separately and reacted to his/ her results.
These reactions vary from agreeing to being only slightly surprised and are the main content of the video. The actors' interactions are unplanned and of a conversational nature, which pretty much supports the informal character of the segment.
A clear shift in tone from the show
The Pitt is a show that is serious and realistic, but the quiz provides completely the opposite of the show's tone by portraying the cast in a stress-free, off-screen environment. This change opens up a view for the audience of how the actors are different from or sometimes alike the characters they play.
Nevertheless, the segment is not trying to reinterpret or redefine those characters at all. The quiz results are meant to be taken as fun comparisons rather than significant analysis.
How the quiz engages the audience
The quiz's interactive approach not only encourages posterior participation among the viewers but also draws them to the core of the plot, making one think about the questions the same way he or she would answer them. It is a subtle and indirect way of getting the audience involved in the show without putting any stress on them.
The prevalence of personality over the narrative in the segment keeps it within reach of the audience and, at the same time, protects The Pitt from any spoilers.
The purpose of the segment
The quiz is a dual-purpose tool to gain visibility and engagement, while at the same time not being a source of narrative information. It neither brings new plot points nor does it validate character development and provide insights into the future episodes.
On the contrary, it brings a light-hearted moment, permitting the cast to engage with the audience in a manner that seems natural and kinetically unscripted.
The segment with The Pitt cast still keeps a light and self-contained, funny exercise and does not rely on narrative expansion but instead focuses on personality questions and playful hypotheticals.
Most importantly, the conversation remained on the level of entertainment, with no hints of real crossovers or storyline changes. The selection of Hawkeye Pierce by the group was absolutely fun, and the movie's proposal was just creative, which made the segment more light-hearted.
Overall, the video is an attractive behind-the-scenes moment that goes along with The Pitt but does not change or expand its fictitious world.
