Inside the Grey’s Anatomy Set

by Ingrid Diaz on September 26th, 2007

USA Today has some great coverage on Grey’s Anatomy this week, going as far as presenting some “scenes” from the grey’s anatomy set, which are mainly descriptions of what goes on with our actors when the camera isn’t on them.

Sandra Oh looks sleepy, wrapped in a parka and heading to her chair. Hers is special compared with all the others’ standard-issue director’s chairs. Oh’s features extra padding, a fancy curved foot rest and a canvas compartment under the seat. While the other actors have their full names silk-screened onto the backs of their chairs, Oh’s is marked with two block letters: OH. She never talks to on-set journalists, but she offers a friendly late-in-the-day wink as she walks by.

Justin Chambers (Alex) shares his trailer, or “tin box,” as he calls it, with Katherine Heigl (Izzie). “I hear her loud mouth all the time — girl’s got a loud mouth,” he kids. Heigl slams right back: She says she has to listen to “trailer buddy” Chambers’ daily doses of Judge Judy or Montel Williams. “I think he falls asleep with the TV on,” she playfully groans. Chambers has more expansive digs off-set. Over the summer he purchased a California home, where his five kids have their own rooms.

Jokes about Patrick Dempsey (Derek, aka Dr. McDreamy) keeping his hair perfect. When there’s a delay between takes, Dempsey displays some of his cellphone photos to Pompeo and Oh. Then Pompeo warns the crew, “We’ve really got to get going. Patrick’s hair is falling.” Later in the day, after Dempsey has spent time relaxing, Pompeo asks, “What’s wrong with your hair?” (It does look a little lopsided.)

More fun stuff over at USA Today. Worth checking out. Be sure to also catch their CelebWatch video about Chyler Leigh. It takes you right to the set where the new Grey’s Anatomy star gives us the inside scoop.
