Any new gossip on the new addition to Grey's Anatomy, Kevin McKidd?

If you've seen the latest Grey's Anatomy promo, there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it tease of McKidd and Cristina (Sandra Oh). Those two are so on, and I'm liking it!  By the way, if you have any questions for the newest McHottie gracing Seattle Grace,  we will get a chance to speak with him soon, so send in your questions to tvdiva@eonline.com.

As we await the 2 hour season premiere, be sure to pick up your copy of Made of Honor, on DVD release next week. We have screencaps of bonus features and deleted scenes in the gallery.

Notes of Organization: 

1) Updated gallery photos and re-organized according to recent projects.

2) Added a "Grey's Anatomy" news page & countdown feature to our News/Interviews Archive section based on viewer feedback.

Also stay tuned for details on our "Grey's Anatomy" live chat night.  You must be a registered member to participate--more details to follow.... 

Just a reminder that we will not officially post any episode spoilers or papparazzi video of Kevin on the main site. However, links are sometimes provided by fans in a more informal nature on the message boards for now.

If you wish to read the latest spoiler concerning Kevin's role on the premiere episode of "Grey's Anatomy," we cordially redirect you to:

Kevin is playing the role of Dr. Owen Hunt for at least 11 episodes.

Thanks to the powers that be, Kevin very graciously provided us an update a few days ago regarding some of his future projects. He also provided the answer to our top 2 fan questions. See below.


Dylan - While IMDB continues to change the status of this film, Kevin informed us that the project is primarily ON HOLD for the time being.

Parasomnia - The media announced Kevin's role in this film back in May; however, "Grey's Anatomy" filming has created a schedule clash.

Catwalk - Kevin advised that this project is still a possibility but may also clash with "Grey's Anatomy" shoots.

Dog Soldiers II: Fresh Meat - Kevin advised us that this is definitely not going to happen.


As for the two most popular fan questions, Kevin says:

(1) he does not have a family tartan and

(2) the scar on the bridge of his nose is the result of falling through a glass door when he was very young. 

Thanks, Kevin, for the recent update and thanks to the fans for your interest and inquiries!

Congratulations to Pattirose, the winner of our Kevin Career Trivia contest. She won an online gift certificate to Amazon.com, courtesy of Kevin McKidd Online, for providing the most correct answers!

Kevin recently went home to celebrate his birthday and received a special kilt for his work and promotion of SHIFC, the Scottish Highlands and Islands Film Commission. See the news section for more details.

More photos and fun still to come...and don't forget to watch the new fall lineup of Grey's Anatomy.  Kevin may be in for an extended hospital stay...but, in this rare case, we're very happy.

The woman behind "Grey's Anatomy" has confirmed Kevin's role as Owen Hunt, a new addition to Seattle Grace Hospital.

Kevin is in "serious talks" to join the cast of "Grey's Anatomy" for an extended story arc. Check Miscellaneous News for more.  McDreamy, McSteamy and now McBeefy? Stay tuned.  

Bunraku has completed filming and shooting on Parasomnia is slated to begin in July so Kevin is definitely keeping busy. We've been doing the same: updates to the filmography and FAQ page as well as a new Stage and Radio page. More banners, more photos, more, more, more....

Remember, if Kevin isn't filming, he may just pop in at the Saturn Awards, which will broadcast live on some networks Tues, June 24th. Check your station listings for details.
