Part 1

Part 2

Biggest Lesson He’s Learned in Hollywood

Don’t drink at the Golden Globes. Not for four hours especially when you’re under great stress and duress. Not a good idea, not a good idea.

If He Misses Grey’s Anatomy

You Know what, Im not going to speak on that. I saw Shonda recently and all I can say is it’s all love.

His Thoughts on Shonda Rhimes

Thats my girl, she’s going to always be my girl. I don’t care what y’all say…People forget, she fought for me but I’m not expecting her to give up a $10 million check because people are mad..ya’ know? But that relationship isn’t over. It ain’t over.

Craziest Rumor He’s Heard About Himself

That I’m homophobic.

What Every Man Should Try At Least Once In His Life

Kissing another man.

Last week, we reported that on his Grey’s return, he’ll play his initial character Dr. Preston Burke and say farewell to Sandra Oh, who played Cristina and was engaged to his character. Shonda said in a statement:

It’s important to me that Cristina’s journey unfolds exactly as it should. Burke is vital to that journey — he gives her story that full-circle moment we need to properly say goodbye to our beloved Cristina Yang.

Reportedly, he will guest star for a May episode.
