The Pitt Casts 9-1-1 Alum Lou Ferrigno Jr. (Exclusive)
Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center is enlisting a familiar face from the 118.
TVLine can exclusively reveal that "9-1-1" alum Lou Ferrigno Jr. — who has recurred throughout the ABC drama's run as LAFD firefighter-turned-pilot Tommy Kinard — has been cast in Season 2 of HBO Max's "The Pitt." He'll make his debut Thursday in Episode 10 as orthopedic surgeon Dr. Brendon Park.
David Fumero Is Also Scrubbing Into The Pitt
TVLine can also confirm that David Fumero ("Power," "L.A.'s Finest") has been cast on "The Pitt" as ER patient Derek Foster — who may or may not require Park's services.
In addition to "9-1-1," Ferrigno's TV credits include "S.W.A.T.," "Outer Banks," and "How I Met Your Mother." Fumero, meanwhile, is best known to soap opera fans for playing Cristian Vega on the long-running ABC serial "One Life to Live."
