Ben Hollingsworth, who plays Brady in Netflix hit Virgin River, has opened up about his forgotten medical drama – and fans are obsessed.
Virgin River fans were delighted when Ben Hollingsworth, known for his role as Daniel Brady in the Netflix series, gave a glimpse into his past role in a lesser-known medical drama.
Ben starred as Dr. Mario Savetti, a first-year resident, in Code Black, which aired on CBS for three seasons from 2015 to 2018.
Yesterday (May 30), Ben took to Instagram to share some photos and reflect on his latest medical journey, as well as his previous role before he became famous on Netflix.
Promoting healthcare company Prenuvo, he shared an extensive update with his 363,000 Instagram followers.
He posted: “Some of you might not know this, but I used to be a doctor… on TV. Naturally, for 3 seasons, I was immersed in the world of medicine.
“Although our stories were heightened, one common theme was that most of our patients ended up in the ER because they ignored something until it became emergent.
“This is called reactive care, and unfortunately, it is all too common in our current healthcare system, leading to poor health outcomes for many diagnosed conditions.
“I’ve been trying to become more PROactive in my day-to-day life. So, when @nilababy mentioned that @prenuvo offers private full-body MRI scans, I was all in.”
He continued to discuss the benefits of the full-body scans, jokingly adding: “I am now armed with the knowledge I need to advocate for the best care possible. Oh, and did I mention that you can watch Netflix while you’re in the MRI machine?”
“So guess what show they put on for me!” he quipped, making a cheeky reference to Virgin River.
Fans flooded the comments section of Ben’s Instagram post, expressing their love for his previous show, Code Black, reports the Mirror US.
One fan penned: “One of my fave shows. It was such a shame it only had 3 seasons.” (sic)
