Interesting episode for Alex this week and it was good to finally meet some of his family. Justin did great (as always ) and there are even mentions in the press about his portrayal of Alex today:

The way Justin Chambers plays Alex has always been nicely restrained — he’s never made Alex a great guy, or a guy with great judgment. Even the parts of Alex that are capable of kindness always act on it uncomfortably.

It’s a really nice bit, and Justin Chambers does a great job of staying understated while playing a whole lot of layers of emotion. He’s terrific in this episode, and I’m glad we get to see a little of his range aside from having to take care of Izzie.

I added screencaps from the episode to the gallery already. The next original episode of Grey’s Anatomy airs on April 29th.

6.19 – Sympathy For The Parents

Entertainment Tonight ran a small clip yesterday with Justin in his scrubs on the Grey’s set and he was commenting on Katherine Heigl having left the show. What he said is at the ET site:

ET has the first words from Katherine Heigl’s TV husband Justin Chambers since she confirmed that Izzy’s out!

“Katherine is very much loved,” Justin tells ET behind the scenes. “She’s a huge part of the show’s success.”

Before he was called back to the set for doctor duty, he added: “She’s always in our hearts and Izzy will always be a huge benefactor to the show.”

The teaser trailer for the short film “The Happiest Man Alive” has been released and there’s an official website for the film now although screening dates are not up yet.

Visit http://www.thehappiestmanalivemovie.com for more info on the film and watch the teaser below:

Justin has associated himself with another cause. He’s supporting an initiative called “Songs For Soldiers” where the goal is to supply every American soldier in Iraq and Afghanistan with an MP3 player because listening to songs help them cope with the stress of combat. There’s an article in the LA Times about the cause. Here’s a bit of it:

“While you’re out there, music serves as the soundtrack to your own movie,” Gilfillan recalled. “I remember the songs I listened to while I was out there. When someone got killed in our unit, I remember listening to Gary Jewel’s “Mad World” over and over again. Music has always attached meaning to a certain point in people’s lives.”

Celebrities such as “Today Show” news anchor Ann Curry, “Grey’s Anatomy” doc Justin Chambers, “Terminator” star Linda Hamilton and football star Terrell Owens have endorsed the campaign.

To read the full article go to LA Times and to learn more about the cause and finding out how you can help visit Songs For Soldiers.

You can watch the PSA Justin filmed for SFS below:

Justin was at the movie premiere of “Legion” last week (Jan. 21) to support friend and former Grey’s Anatomy co-star Kate Walsh but he skipped the red carpet.    I’ve looked around but I’ve only been able to find him posing for pic with a fan at the premiere. Click on the pic to see bigger:

I uploaded a short video of Justin being interviewed on the red carpet at the event “An Evening of Stars: A Tribute To Lionel Richie.” I haven’t been able to find the event itself but this video is cute because Justin sings!

What did Justin do in December during a couple of days off from Grey’s Anatomy? He starred in a short film for a couple of his friends titled “The Happiest Man Alive” which will be released Spring 2010. The film was shot in 2 days for under $10K. Impressive.

The short film is 11 minutes long and an allegorical story about a day in the life of a man who wakes up, stabs himself in the chest and goes to the office like nothing happened. On the film’s Facebook page there’s the following message:

WE DID IT… With the most amazingly hard working cast and crew, we were able to capture the funny and heart-warming little film that we hoped to make. OTMFC made this movie look unreal. Special thanks to JC for being unbelievably patient and giving of his time. Editorial started hours after wrap and we’ll post some clips/stills soon. Thank you all again. We made something really special.

On to Grey’s Anatomy now. TV Guide came out with 2 new articles about current and upcoming storylines with a few quotes from Justin. I won’t post the quotes here because some might find them spoilerish and I don’t want to anger the people who try to remain spoiler free. To read the articles click on the links:
