People Magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive Patrick Dempsey in 2023 turns 59 today.
The dreamy actor, who is aging magnificently, is currently co-starring in the new series Dexter: Original Sin as Capt. Aaron Spencer. This comes after starring in the series Devils.
Dempsey remains in demand on the big screen as well. In recent years, he’s been in the films Ferrari, Thanksgiving, the Disney sequel Disenchanted opposite Amy Adams and the sequel Bridget Jones’s Baby.
He also reprised his role as neurosurgeon Derek “McDreamy” Shepherd in Grey’s Anatomy in a dream sequence three seasons back. He had left the show after its 12th season in 2015 with his character being killed off.
Dempsey had early success as an actor, starring in a number of films in the 1980s, including Can’t Buy Me Love (1987) and Loverboy (1989). In the 1990s, he mostly appeared in smaller roles in film, such as Outbreak (1995) and television. Dempsey was in Scream 3 where he played the role of Detective Mark Kincaid and landed a lead role in Sweet Home Alabama (2002), a surprise box office hit. He has since starred in other films, including Enchanted (2007), Made of Honor (2008), Valentine’s Day (2010), Flypaper (2011), Freedom Writers (2007), and Transformers: Dark of the Moon (2012).
