I added to the gallery a few screencaps (not the greatest quality…) from a scene that didn’t make it into the aired version of episode 10.17 “Do You Know?”. Click on the thumbnails for the album.

 
And, here’s the deleted scene…

To promote the Tuesday lineup of TV shows (which includes: Grey’s Anatomy, Scandal and Mistresses), Belgian TV channel VIJF has a commercial starring Justin Chambers. This commercial is a must-see. lol

The European ABC Press Tour this summer is the gift that keeps on giving. I still have to update with the written interviews and add more pics, but here are two more video interviews.

First interview is called “3 Question for Justin Chambers” and the questions are (roughly translated):
1. What’s your assessment of Alex after 10 seasons?
2. What nickname for Alex?
3. You have just re-signed for two years. How long are you willing to stay?

 
In this interview Justin talks a bit about where he’d like Alex’s story to go, the possible passing of the torch from Meredith Grey to another Grey half-sister, the longevity of the show, juggling family and work, and watching documentaries during the hiatus.

We have a two more video interviews from the 54th Monte Carlo Television Festival that Justin attended last month.

In this first interview that aired on Croatian show inMagazin, Justin talks a bit about working on Grey’s Anatomy and the success of the show, the best advice he’s been given in the business and what he does when he’s not working.

 
In this second interview from Brain Damaged, Justin describes his last day working with Sandra Oh, whether he thinks Alex will return to Grey + Sloan Memorial Hospital, his favorite season 10 moments and if he thinks Alex has finally found happiness with Jo.

Another video interview was posted at french channel TF1’s site. Because it’s geo-blocked for people outside of France (boo!), I uploaded it to Youtube.
The video can be watched at the source here: Justin Chambers « Alex et Jo, la famille risque de s’agrandir !» or below.

In this video, Justin discusses the evolution of Alex and his relationship with Jo. Also, Justin speaks a bit in french.

 
There have been quite a few interviews that have come out over the last couple of weeks from the ABC Studios press tour, but they’re mostly in french. I’ll try translating them and posting sometime. In the meantime, here is one from Portuguese newspaper, Metro.

Justin Chambers
For almost 11 years he’s played the role of Dr. Alex Karev in “Grey’s Anatomy”. We sat down with the actor in London where he explained his motivations.

“I have gained Alex’s mannerisms”

How does an actor stay motivated to play the same character for 10 or 11 years?
That’s a good question, because I don’t know! Maybe a check and knowing you have a job? But more seriously: in “Grey’s Anatomy” we have a lot of people coming in and leaving, even in each episode. I think I inspire myself in the way they commit, by the freshness they bring. The characters that Shonda [Rhimes, creator of the show] wrote have the necessary flaws to keep the show interesting. It’s like if you asked me: “Why do viewers keep watching the show?” It also goes for us actors: if we seem to be interested, it’s because it must be interesting.

Are you still surprised by the scripts you get?
Sure. A few seasons ago Alex ratted Meredith out in a specific situation. I told Shonda that I didn’t think my character was capable of committing that kind of betrayal. It didn’t seem like him! So we both sat down and agreed on: “We’ll get him drunk, because people do stupid things when they drink.” It really is like that: there are things that we might not understand, but what my character does can affect Arizona and then Callie…

Justin continues on the ABC Studios Press Tour where he is currently in London, England. His next stop will be Brussels, Belgium.

This is another video interview from Télé-Loisirs.fr where Justin talks about what to expect in season 10 (season 9 just finished airing in France) and a bit about what he thinks will happen with the relationship between Alex and Jo. The video from the source auto-plays, so once again I uploaded it to Youtube.

 
Justin did the Live Facebook Q&A Session today in London. For those who missed it, you can watch it at Facebook where it’s being replayed. This is link to it: ABC Studios UK

I also uploaded the Q&A session to Youtube for those who prefer to watch it that way. Check it out below.

P.S. – If you’ve watched the Q&A, here is a photo from when Justin met Axl Rose. LINK

 
Bonus pic: Yesterday, actress Bellamy Young from ‘Scandal’ posted this photo of the people she flew out of Monte Carlo by helicopter with.

Justin attended a cocktail reception at the Monaco Palace yesterday and I added two photos to the gallery. Click on the link for the album.

Cocktail Reception at Monaco Palace – June 10

 
Videos from the interviews gave yesterday are starting to come out. This first one Justin talks about Sandra Oh’s going away surprise party and her leaving Grey’s Anatomy.

I had to uploaded this video to Youtube because it auto-plays at the source (Télé-Loisirs.fr). In this one, Justin mentions that Shonda Rhimes has talked about Grey’s Anatomy going on until season 15(!), and he discusses what he’d like to do after the shows ends.
