Dr. Hunt fought in Iraq. What do you think of that war?
<To play the role I have met many people who have really been there. Everyone answered me they went to protect dearest people, not for a political ideology. I'm part of an association that sends refreshments to the front to make soldiers feel less alone. But being a person in the public eye I don't feel to say if war has been right or wrong>.
You have played in Trainspotting, Rome, Grey's Anatomy, Journeyman. Which of these characters you feel closer to?
<Right Dr. Hunt because he tries to do his job well and always to be a good person. I'm myself a person who works hard, but certanly not perfect>.
What do you watch on tv?
<I adore The Simpsons. And dark commedies>.

Kevin McKidd tells us about Dr. Hunt of Grey's Anatomy
We met the Scottish actor at the Roma Fiction Fest 2010, where he presented the season finale of Grey's Anatomy, the ABC series in which he plays Dr. Owen Hunt, deepening the most moving/exciting and fun moments of this experience and remembering his past on the set of Trainspotting.
He is one of the most recent arrivals to the rich cast of Grey's Anatomy, but Kevin McKidd is certainly not the last: one only need look at his filmography to note how varied and career his career has been to date. Scottish by birth, it is precisely from the United Kingdom that the actor took his first steps in acting, from the set of the phenomenon that was Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting, appearing in the following years in television and film productions, both English and American, and even finding the time to lend his voice to some video games in recent years such as Grand Theft Auto: Vice City and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, in which he played the captain "Soap" MacTavish.
From Ridley Scott’s Kingdom of Heaven and Hannibal Lecter, to the recent role of Poseidon in Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief, via the directorial debut of Neil Marshall, the horror movie Dog Soldiers, his appearances on the big screen are not few, while on TV, before becoming Dr Owen Hunt in Grey’s Anatomy in 2008, he had the role of Lucius Vorenus in Rome and the protagonist in that unfortunate series Journeyman, defeated by ratings and in part by the writers' strike.
In our meeting we recalled the experience with Boyle on Trainspotting, the difficulties at the beginning and his passion for music, but we couldn’t explore the experience on the set of Seattle Grace Hospital, from the most exciting moments to the most fun, without looking to the future of his character.

 The thing that excites him the most is the love triangle that his character, surgeon Owen Hunt of "Grey's Anatomy", is part of. For the Scottish actor Kevin McKidd, being one of the main actors of one of the most popular TV series' in the world, "it's fun" also and especially for that "liaison" with colleagues Cristina (Sandra Oh) and Teddy (Kim Raver).
''It's curious, I don't know how men in Italy behave, but the Scots generally don’t waste much time thinking, "should I be with this girl or with the other?" They decide and say to the girl "Hey you, let's go" - the actor, guest at RomaFictionFest, explains smiling - "but I understand that the public finds it captivating.''
He'd like to have a good chat with his character, a surgeon who arrived at "Seattle Grace" (where the event is set) after a traumatic experience serving on the front lines in Iraq: "I'd tell him to be more of a man". The actor, who worked on the series "Rome", is a great lover of the city (''I lived here two and a half years and I miss it every day''), he explains that he prepared himself for the role in "Grey's Anatomy" with a trauma surgeon who served in Iraq.
What do you think the secret of the series is? "The fact that there are excellent writers, able to keep the quality so high, after many seasons''. The seventh season, will start in the USA in September. ''The greatest difficulty -he says- was joining a cast that had worked together for so long, but everyone welcomed me very well".
And the fact that he had already shot a movie with Patrick Dempsey (one of the historical leaders of the series) helped. "He guaranteed that I was a good guy'', he jokes.

In promoting full Season 6 Grey's Anatomy in London, Kevin McKidd has agreed to talk about the movie Rome, more than ever: "The film will not this year but next year, in all likelihood. This summer more precisely. The money needed for its production is largely harvested. The script is ready. The desire is there. Let's cross our fingers! " As to whether other players will be there, he told us: "All the actors whose characters are not dead will return.
