Isa Briones: Stepping Into Santos

In this week’s episode, Tay sits down with actress and singer Isa Briones! Isa shares how she first got started in performing and where her love for theater began, growing up with parents who were also actors and how that shaped her path. She opens up about landing her role on The Pitt, what the audition process looked like, and what it’s been like being part of a show for multiple seasons. Isa gives a behind-the-scenes look at the medical bootcamp the cast went through and just how realistic the show aims to be, especially when it comes to portraying high-pressure environments and sensitive mental health topics. She also reflects on how she personally takes care of her mental health, the ways she relates to her character Santos, and what she’s learned through stepping into such an intense role.
