Michael John Benzaia, an actor known for portraying medical professionals on an array of television shows, including “How to Get Away With Murder,” “General Hospital,” and “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit,” is on a mission to reform the health care industry.

The New York native, who began working as a licensed radiologic and computed tomography technologist long before he decided to pursue an acting career, recently partnered with the American Society of Radiologic Technologists (ASRT) on its new “Be Seen” campaign to raise awareness for the unsung heroes of patient care: medical imaging and radiation therapy professionals.
