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.

Among the surprises of this edition of the Rome Fiction Fest Wednesday, July 7 arrived two of the most beloved characters of television shows overseas: Naveen Andrews (Sayid, the torturer from the soul of good Lost) and Kevin McKidd (Dr. Owen Hunt Grey's Anatomy). After the usual photo and some interviews, Andrews and McKidd headed in the hall for the projection of the last two episodes of the sixth series of Grey's Anatomy (Sanctuary and Death and All His Friends) and the screening of the finale of Lost (The End ). Kevin McKidd joked loving living his character, Owen Hunt, in love with two women, Cristina Yang (Sandra Ho) and Teddy Altman (Kim Raver): "We Scots are not so hesitant. We're not thinking if we love a woman or another, if we take just a woman. " For this fourth edition of the Rome Fiction Fest were chosen two of the most beloved franchises of all time: the mysterious and captivating Lost, which has revolutionized the way people think and make the show, and Grey's Anatomy, a medical-drama romantic continues to thrill millions of fans.
As regards Naveen Andrews, the charming British actor of Indian origin has answered questions from journalists who wanted to ask him how he saw his future after Lost: "I live my life now, after so many years been linked to Sayid I have almost an identity crisis. "

Day 3 of
Roma Fiction Fest featured one of the most highly anticipated events of the week with not one, but two British actors from two hugely popular US TV dramas sharing the stage together –
Naveen Andrews (Sayid Jarrah in all six seasons of
Lost) and
Kevin McKidd (currently playing Dr. Owen Hunt in
Grey's Anatomy). Predictably, this was the event that has drawn the largest crowd I've seen so far and there was a full and enthusiastic house in Sala 4 at Cinema Adriano to hear the actors talk about working on their respective shows and introduce the recent season finales. The interviews were informal and relaxed, with both actors coming across as down to earth individuals of enormous professionalism, combined with humility and sense of humour. Whilst they may not be colleagues on the same show, one felt a sense of complicity and mutual respect between the actors on stage as you can see from the video below of the event
