The Pitt<\/em>‘s La\u00ebtitia Hollard is looking back on a scary injury on The Pitt <\/em>set, and how star Noah Wyle swooped in to help.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n Hollard recalled nicking herself on a counter and thinking she saw “fake blood,” when Wyle pointed out it was her own.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n The star of the hit medical drama then took her aside, “he brought out the gauze, the disinfectant. I was like, ‘Wait, I’m in the Pitt right now.'”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Noah Wyle<\/a> has apparently played a doctor for so long, he doesn’t think twice about rendering emergency medical aid.<\/p>\n The Pitt<\/em><\/a>season 2 standout La\u00ebtitia Hollard now counts herself among Wyle’s real-life “patients,” she revealed on Monday’s episode of Warner Bros. TV’s A Lot More<\/em><\/a>podcast.<\/p>\n Hollard recalled shooting a scene in the crowded “control hub” of the medical drama’s main set, where the expansive ensemble cast frenetically flow amongst and around each other. Hollard’s shy and studious nursing graduate Emma Nolan “had this little moment where you see me enter in episode 1 with this notebook and all these things on me. And Dana (Katherine LaNasa) finally tells me, ‘Hey, you can go grab your notebook.'”<\/p>\n Shooting the exceedingly simple scene would prove nearly disastrous for Hollard, were it not for Wyle’s quick thinking.<\/p>\n La\u00ebtitia Hollard as Emma Nolan on ‘The Pitt’ “I am so excited to grab it. I’m like, ‘Finally, I can use the tools that I brought here. I’m ready for this.’ So I had to squeeze past Noah to get my notebook, because he’s talking, and I’m like, ‘Oh my god, I’m being little shy Emma. And every time I squeezed past, I would bump my elbow a little bit,'” Hollard explained.<\/p>\n Hollard brushed off the first few times it happened, but then she was told the camera would be locked on her for a take.<\/p>\n “Adrenaline just automatically is in my system. So I bump it again, and I go and I get that notebook, and when I come back, when I reset, I see there’s like fake blood on the counter. And I literally say to someone, ‘Who left fake blood here?’ And Noah goes, ‘I think you nicked yourself.’ I look at my elbow, it’s covered with blood.”<\/p>\n Wyle, who anchors The Pitt <\/em>as the courageous attending physician Dr. Michael “Robby” Robinavitch, didn’t waste a second.<\/p>\n “Noah was like, ‘Don’t worry, this is the best place for this to happen.’ And he brought me, he’s like, ‘You have so many medical professionals, and he became like Dr. Robby,” she recounted.<\/p>\n Wyle didn’t just bring her to the show’s set medic \u2014 he treated Hollard himself.<\/p>\n “He brought me to a corner, he brought out the gauze, the disinfectant. I was like, ‘Wait, I’m in the Pitt right now,'” Hollard joked. When eventually “a real nurse passed by, Wyle suggested they care for Hollard, “‘not me. I’m pretending.'”<\/p>\n Get your daily dose of entertainment news, celebrity updates, and what to watch with\u00a0our\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>EW Dispatch newsletter<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n The Pitt <\/em>premiered on HBO Max in January 2025, swept the proceeding Emmy Awards, and was renewed for a second season the following January.
