‘The Pitt’ actress Brittany Allen on betting on herself

Season 2026 Episode 142 | 6m 39s

For working actors, even a standout role on a hit show doesn’t guarantee recognition. After HBO chose not to submit Brittany Allen for Emmy consideration for her guest role on “The Pitt,” she took matters into her own hands by submitting herself. The bet paid off, and she’s now an Emmy nominee. Allen joined Geoff Bennett to discuss her story about the power of persistence and betting on yourself.
