Grey's Anatomy Star Getting Fired

Grey's star Isaiah Washington may be losing his job after a violent and homophobic outburst on set

The National Enquirer broke the story last week that Isaiah Washington, who plays Dr. Preston Burke on ABC's Grey's Anatomy, started a fight with the other resident dream boat, Patrick Dempsey. The story goes that Washington is jealous of Dempsey's sexy image, as he feels he's entitled to the same kind of attention. Washington became agitated before shooting a scene because he had to wait for co-star T.R. Knight (George O'Malley) to arrive to the set. When Dempsey told Washington to "pick on someone (his) own size," Washington flew into a rage, and not only pushed Dempsey but grabbed his throat.

As more information leaks from the set, it has been revealed that Washington also made an unacceptable gay slur about Knight, telling Dempsey, "I'm not your little lovely human like (Knight)."

Knight, who is an open gay man, is now receiving a barrage of media attention about his sexuality. The cast and crew of Grey's is reportedly divided over Washington's actions.

According to In Touch, execs from the show are considering recasting the role of Dr. Burke. They have already met with three possible replacements: Bill Bellamy (Fastlane), Boris Kodjoe (Soul Food) and Eriq LaSalle (E.R.).

While it may be unusual for a primetime show to replace the actor playing a lead character
- especially since Grey's is frequently called "the biggest show on television" - sacrifices must be made to retore happiness to the set, and to keep up the quality of the show.

I wonder what the writers will do to Dr. Burke... :Q

damn, I haven't really witnessed a large actor change in a modern show...wonder how that would go over considering that Burke's part is pretty good. Washington sounds like a jackass...stereotypical actor sh*t.

 

[DaWhim]

damn....i just got hooked to this show last week.

 

[Whisper]

Hmm...I'd always thought Washington did a great job on the show, too.

Then again, this story was reported by the National Enquirer...which means I'm almost positive there's at least some exaggeration in there somewhere.

Wow, just like watching E! here on ATOT.

All the latest crap that nobody gives a rats ass about.

I still remember when they changed the actress that played Vivian on the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. First time I saw the new actress, I was wondering who the hell she was

Oh hell yeah, I live for the drama.

My favorite part is when they play a really meaningful song at the end and pan to all the characters as they ponder the days events. Tugs at my heartstrings it does.

I thought they were already in the process of writing him off the show because his character no longer has 100% use of his hand for surgery.

T.R. Knight is sexy, and I suppose Dempsey is almost a dreamboat (in a heterosexual sort of way) but Washington is not sexy at all, imo. He seems asexual, like a boring history professor is asexual. So I don't know why he expects to get as much attention as Dempsey.

 

[daveymark]

so who would be a good replacement?

"Get these muthaf*ckin interns, out of this mothaf*ckin surgery room!"

yeah, but he's clean, and he's brown. I'd let him in if I was playing NHLPA 93 on the Genesis.

I'm so money I don't even know it

 

[aidanjm]

Maybe Washington will apologize to Knight, and it will be friendly on the set again..? I guess they don't have to like each other to work together.
edit: but then again, I wonder what people's response would be someone used the n-word towards Issiah Washington? The physical assault against Dempsey is also a bit shocking, if I hit someone in my workplace my employment would be terminated and I'd be escorted out of the building by security.
