Grey’s Anatomy Actor T.R. Knight Comes Out

In a weird twist of news events, T.R. Knight from the popular ABC drama Grey’s Anatomy, released in People magazine that he’s gay.  This is made even more quirky by the fact that his love interest on the show is Dr. Meredith Grey (a female no doubt).

“I guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I’d like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there,” Knight’s statement read. “While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I’m gay isn’t the most interesting part of me.”

Knight plays Dr. George O’Malley on the popular ABC drama. A former stage actor, his television credits also include “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.”

Knight’s “Grey’s Anatomy” character, a bumbling, puppy-eyed surgeon, has long been in love with Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo). More on MSN.com

I guess the storyline of Knight’s character being in love w/ Dr. Grey is over.  It wouldn’t be surprising at all to see ABC write out Knight’s character in the coming weeks or before next season.
