Former Grey's Anatomy showrunner Tony Phelan reveals the two famous TV stars creator Shonda Rhimes rejected for key roles in the medical drama.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Grey’s Anatomy creator Shonda Rhimes rejected two notable television stars for key roles, sticking to her vision for the series. As one of the most enduring hits on broadcast television, in addition to bringing in huge streaming numbers, the success of the medical drama seems like it would have always been a safe bet.
If you look at it, Grey’s, early on, it had so many people, so many cast members who were from the theater, as opposed to being known for previous work on television. Really, the only person who was a star in that cast was Patrick Dempsey. And it had been a while for him since he had been thought of that way. And so you know, Shonda will tell the story of how the network was pushing for—the actor’s name is eluding me now, but wanted a much more established star to play that character.
Grey's Was Better Off With A More Unknown Cast It is common to hear in television, especially when casting for flagship dramas or sitcoms, that there will be some push to cast a familiar face. The thinking goes that familiarity will help, as far as the show's advertising and in terms of building an audience.
