Why Kristin Villanueva Has a Newfound Respect for Healthcare Workers | So Candid

Kristin Villanueva pulls back the curtain on her high-stakes journey from Las Piñas to the set of The Pitt. After 17 years in New York, she had just one week to pack her life and move to LA for a role that would define her career. She opens up about the “medical bootcamp” that prepared the cast and what it’s like filming 9 to 11 pages a day on a set built like a theater.

Beyond the scrubs, Kristin reflects on the “competency porn” that makes the show a hit, watching professionals who are exceptionally good at what they do. With three Filipino Americans in the cast, she shares why this representation matters and how playing a nurse gave her a profound new respect for the emotional weight real healthcare workers carry every day.
