Why The Good Doctor's Bria Samon Henderson Loves Grey's Anatomy

Posted by Mittie Cheatwood on Sunday, June 9, 2024

When Bria Henderson began her graduate studies in drama at the University of Washington, she found it to be a disorienting and alienating experience — the culture and vibe of Seattle was nothing like her hometown of Atlanta, and navigating this new world was a challenge. "I just remember being depressed because I was just lonely. I just didn't feel like I knew anyone or no one really understood me," she recalled.

So like many of us, she turned to television for therapy. "And so I took to Netflix to move through my depression because when you're in grad school for acting, you do not have time to have a therapist," she recalled. Since she had limited time for TV, she chose her binges strategically. "I chose the shows that had the longest amount of seasons, so I could just get lost in them," she said. "And I ended up really enjoying "Grey's Anatomy" because of how they also just give so much space for the characters and who they are outside of the medicine."
