Shawn Hatosy Shares New Shots With Legend Steve Stevens

Shawn Hatosy fans got a treat this week when the actor behind Animal Kingdom and Max’s The Pitt dropped a fresh set of candid images featuring an unexpected musical collaborator.

New Behind-the-scenes Snapshot

On June 5, Hatosy took to Instagram under his handle @shawnyhats to share three new photos with guitar virtuoso Steve Stevens. Best known for his work with Billy Idol and hit contributions like the signature riff on the Top Gun: Maverick soundtrack, Stevens—tagged as @vsteves—brought rock ’n’ roll cred to the laid-back moment. Hatosy captioned the post, “Look a white t-shirt! New shots with a true legend @vsteves.” In the first pic, the two lean against black road cases, Stevens cradling his fretboard while Hatosy beams in a crisp white tee and classic blue jeans.

Style Meets Rock Royalty

The white T-shirt moment underscores Hatosy’s off-duty ease, but it’s Stevens’s trademark leather jacket, layered chains and gleaming instruments that steal a second glance. Fans flooded the comments, one noting, “Instant rock history,” while another tagged a friend: “Can’t miss this collab!” The images hint at a backstage setting—equipment carts and a soft blue spotlight in the background—suggesting the pair crossed paths during a private guitar showcase in Los Angeles earlier this month.

From Animal Kingdom To The Pitt

Away from the fretboard, Hatosy remains a prolific presence on both small and big screens. As of June 1, 2025, all six seasons of his breakout drama Animal Kingdom are streaming on Netflix in the U.S., a milestone the actor marked with an Instagram post: “Just when you thought the day couldn’t get any better…”

Simultaneously, Hatosy headlines the medical thriller The Pitt on Max, portraying Dr. Abbot—a role he describes as defined by “his strength, presence and talent for emergency medicine,” rather than by his prosthetic leg. Late May saw him celebrate the season one finale with another post: “Season 1 finale of The Pitt tonight on @StreamOnMax! What a wild ride it’s been. Such a pleasure working with this incredible group. @therealnoahwyle sets the gold standard for what it means to lead a creative team—collaborative, generous, and endlessly inspiring. Hasta la vista! 📷 @warrickpage.”

While Hatosy has yet to announce any formal partnership with Stevens, the juxtaposition of acting chops and guitar mastery resonates with fans on both sides of the stage. Whether it’s drama on screen or riffs off stage, the actor keeps his audience guessing—and engaged—with every upload.

Expect more white-T-shirt moments and rock-infused snapshots from Hatosy’s feed this summer, as he balances camera time with unplugged retreats alongside one of guitar’s most enduring figures.
