Given that he plays an ideal kind of leader within the world of medicine, Eggold was asked about the importance of discussing leadership, on scales big and small, as the series moves forward. “I think one of the ways we’ve grown in the show is not making Max’s solution to these large, complicated issues too easily afforded or overly simplified. [There’s] the opportunity to discuss solutions in a realistic way, [with] transparency,” the actor said.
At the same time, the actor shared the way in which his experience of the pandemic might impact his performance going forward. “Hypothetically, if Dr. Reynolds were to stick around, there’s all sorts of things I could bring to the character. What comes to mind is just my own physical health, being a Black male, or someone who comes from a family with a history of diabetes and high blood pressure,” he said.
During the conversation, panelists touched on the fact that the pandemic has disproportionately affected the lives of minority populations, but for Benjamin—who now serves on the American Heart Association’s board of directors—it was critical to note that race is not the only factor leading to this result. “I don’t want you to think it’s just about race. It’s about the social determinism of health, and that’s what we’re having to deal with as a society,” she said.
