Luke Tennie Joins The Pitt as Dr. Crus Henderson

On April 2nd, Luke Tenney, the actor you know from shrinking an avid elementary, just manifested

his way onto the pit.

At a red carpet event, he shouted out the Warner Brothers medical drama, saying he'd

take any role, even a background patient.

A few months later, boom, he auditions in books Dr. Cruz Henderson, a fourth year resident

on the night shift.

This character marks a shift for Tenney.

Cruz is calm, cool, and collected, unlike his usual fiery or people pleasing roles.

At 31 years old, Tenney notes Cruz matches his age exactly, making it the oldest part

he's tackled so far.

The doc shows up in episode 13, right at the 7pm shift change on July 4th.

The hospitals in chaos, going old school analog after a cyber attack hits a nearby spot,

piling on the frenzy for the team.

Tenney digs the role and hopes for more screen time.

He teases that season 2 builds to a massive crescendo, with his character popping up in

the final 3 episodes for some of the show's wildest.

Moments yet, catch new episodes of the pit every Thursday on max, and keep an eye on

how this night shift unfolds.
