i was poking around old interviews of his and found this interview from 2019. around 1:10:26 he talks about his miniseries The Red Line. it was a show he was super passionate about it because it covered topics he felt were important and relevant and needed to be seen, and he was told they would prioritize the show and believed in it. but CBS ended up burying it and broadcasting it against the final episodes of Game of Thrones so no one saw it and it made almost no impact. he talked how demoralizing it was to make something that could have made a social impact but didn’t get the support or backing to make that happen when he really thought it would.

an actual quote from him in that interview that kinda broke my heart: “That’s my future—I don’t know that I want to do that again, where you put your heart on your sleeve that much and then it’s just ultimately up to a marketing decision or algorithm without knowing whether it’s going to play.”

cut to six years later and this man has TWO emmy awards for a show like The Pitt that is so relevant and important and impactful, that highlights something so close to his own heart. with a role that he gave absolutely everything to portray because it matters so much to him to make a statement about healthcare workers who have gone through so much.

and that show found its success through not through a big marketing or promo push, but organic word of mouth from people who saw and loved it and felt seen by it.

and i just think that’s so beautiful and so deserved that he’s getting to make the thing he’s always wanted to make AND get honored for making it 😭

Anyway, the next night we watched a thing about some pig man who is supposed to live in Vermont. People said it had claws and a pig nose but walked upright like a man. Now, I happen to know that sideshows used to shave bears and present them as pig men. So every piece of evidence they gave of this monster sounds to me like a bear with mange.

So now the running joke in our house is that everything is bears. Aliens? Bears. Loch Ness monster? Bear. Every cryptozoological mystery is just a very crafty bear.
