T.R. Knight Leaving “Grey’s Anatomy”?
This just doesn’t make sense to me.
Probably because in my mind, I always compared this show in a way to “Friends”. I couldn’t imagine after the 4th season of the show, Matt LeBlanc saying that he would like to leave the show.
But I guess that’s not an accurate characterization of why T.R. Knight, or as I will always think of him… George O’Malley, wants off the show. He is stating that he has not been able to “act”. Well, for the 5th season, true… he has only gotten like 16 minutes of airtime on the series so far this season.
Yeah. That’s a bummer.
But, keep this in mind. Justin Chambers, who plays Dr. Alex Karev, has been in the backseat of this show for soooo long while T.R. Knight was getting more screen time.
His character has been developed… T.R.’s. Justin’s has not and it’s time that T.R. takes a cue from Justin and allows the other actor’s characters to be explored.
In the meantime, if he wants to do movies and/or other projects, talk to the producers/creator. Katherine Heigl and Patrick Dempsey both have done some projects while still employed at “Grey’s Anatomy”.
My hunch is that with all the reports out there about T.R. wanting to leave the show, it’s not simply about not being able to “act”. It’s something more. It’s gotta be.
Well, if he leaves, I will miss George O’Malley. One would hope that he would ATLEAST agree to make a cameo from time to time… and also be a part of the SERIES FINALE.
One would hope. But to be honest, I’m a little disgusted with him right now. As my earlier analogy went… none of the “Friends” stars broke up… why is it that we are about to lose one of the first 5 interns of the show?
Disappointing.
