#ThePitt actor #PatrickBall broke down in tears while revealing the show got him out of $80,000 worth of student loan debut. “I paid off my student loans like three months into ‘The Pitt,’ and that was a really profound moment because I thought I was gonna die with it. It’s a huge burden to carry, and a lot of people carry it. I was $80,000 in debt and I had been through a series of failed relationships where my financial insecurity was a real problem. I had just thought that was going to be my life forever, and that is a really heavy thing to live with."
