Interview: Amirah Vann talks new Fox series Doc

Описание: Blackfilmandtv.com's Wilson Morales talks to Amirah Vann on her new TV series Doc.

The cast includes Molly Parker. Omar Metwally, Amirah Vann, Jon Ecker and Anya Banerjee as series regulars, with Scott Wolf and Patrick Walker recurring in the show from writer, executive producer and showrunner Barbie Kligman, executive producers Hank Steinberg and 3 Arts’ Erwin Stoff.

Based on the popular Italian series Doc — Nelle tue mani, which has a male protagonist, the Fox drama centers on the hard-charging, brilliant Dr. Amy Larsen (Parker), Chief of Internal Medicine at Westside Hospital in Minneapolis. After a brain injury erases the last eight years of her life, Amy must navigate an unfamiliar world where she has no recollection of patients she’s treated, colleagues she’s crossed, the man she loves, or the tragedy that caused her to push everyone away. She can rely only on her estranged 17-year-old daughter, whom she remembers as a 9-year-old, and a handful of devoted friends, as she struggles to continue practicing medicine despite having lost nearly a decade of knowledge and experience.

Vann portrays Dr. Gina Walker. A neuropsychiatrist and Amy’s (Parker) best friend for two decades, Gina is witty, warm and dedicated. Post-accident, she’s also Amy’s doctor. It’s not easy for her to balance the two competing and colliding roles she plays in Amy’s life – being both her doctor and her friend – but she walks that fine line with grace, good humor and a lot of love. Where she sometimes has more trouble is with navigating her own personal life.
