The Pitt's newest Doctor Reveals What She Really Thinks About the Show (Sepideh Moafi Interview)

Sepideh Moafi sits down with Parade to talk about what it was really like joining The Pitt as Dr. Baran Al-Hashimi — and why the character's "hard lines" hit closer to home than you might think. Sepideh opens up about binge-watching the entire show in a day and a half before her audition, how her refugee family background and 15 years of humanitarian work led the writers to add a Doctors Without Borders storyline to her character, and the medical boot camp she did right after being cast and more. 0:00 – Intro: "They Speak the Same Language, Different Dialects" 0:17 – She Auditioned for The Pitt With the Flu 0:28 – Binged the Entire Show in a Day and a Half 1:05 – What She Learned About Doctor Al-Hashimi From the Audition Sides 1:14 – Her Refugee Background & the Doctors Without Borders Connection 1:39 – The Character Detail Added Because of Her Advocacy Work 1:55 – Medical Boot Camp & Being Called In 3 Days Early 2:23 – Doctor Hashemi's Take on AI in Medicine 3:04 – "It Depends on Stewardship" — Who Controls AI? 3:47 – Her First Impression of Robby 3:54 – "Just Another Dude in a Position of Power" 4:29 – Diametrically Opposed Views on Medicine 4:34 – "Same Language, Different Dialects" 4:51 – The Langdon Cover-Up Changes Everything 5:14 – She Initially Respected Langdon — Then This Happened 6:06 – The Difference Between Her and Robby: She Would Seek Help 6:36 – Doctor Al-Hashimi's "Hard Lines" on Integrity 7:10 – Why She Can't Fully Look Past the Cover-Up 7:19 – The Mother & Son Storyline 7:50 – Seeing More of Doctor Al-Hashimi's Heart 8:01 – Her Empathy, Her Values, Her Conflicts 8:22 – "She Struggles With Her Own Judgments" 8:50 – She Doesn't Hide Her Internal Conflict 9:15 – It's Not So Black and White #ThePitt #SepidehMoafi #DoctorHashimi #ThePittSeason2 #HBO #HBOMax #NoahWyle #MedicalDrama #CelebrityInterview #ParadeMagazine Subscribe here:    / @parademagazine   Facebook:   / parademag   Twitter:   / parademagazine   Online: http://parade.com/
