This morning Justin and co-star Eric Dane took part in a press conference for Grey’s Anatomy.
3rd Annual Roma Fiction Fest – Press Conference – July 8
The articles about the press conference are in italian and that’s not a language I speak all that well (see article sources for the orginal content) but here are a few things Justin said during the press conference were:
- The success of Grey’s Anatomy is because it’s like ‘E.R.’ with the medical situations and like ‘Sex & the City’ with a lot of relationships and the more sentimental aspect. Above all, the success is due to the diverse type of characters and stories the show has which cover all age groups so there’s at least one character the viewers can identify with.
- He never knows what is going to happen on the show but what he can say is that these doctors take life very seriously and it reflects in their relationships.
- He’d like to be an actor for as long as he can but he takes everything one day at a time. The show has been a great launching pad for him and he’ll possibly look into producing and doing more humanitarian work in the future which is something he really likes to do.
- Asked if he’d like to see his character have a spinoff like Addison with ‘Private Practice’, Justin says he doesn’t think his character would work in a show of that type and he’s happy on Grey’s and likes being part of that group of people.
- Justin says he watches ‘Lost’ and lot of HBO shows which, in his opinion, has produced some of the best television in recent years. As a viewer, he prefers TV to movies and he hates reality shows.
- He supported President Obama during the election campaign and although there are some issues Justin disagrees with, he thinks Obama has done a lot for America and he’s proud to have him as President.
Tonight is the screening of the Grey’s Anatomy episode “Dream a Little Dream of Me – Part 1” at the Roma Fiction Fest and Justin will be attending so we’ll likely be getting more pics from that! 🙂
