It’s really official now: T.R. Knight is off “Grey’s”

Okay, we’ve known for what seems like almost six months that T.R. Knight was not going to be returning to Grey’s Anatomy. First came the “sources said” reports then co-star James Pinkens is publicly wishing him luck then there was another wave of reports last month that again confirmed it.

But now it seems it is really, really true because the show’s creator Shondra Rhimes is finally confirming that it is all true: “I think I speak for the entire ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ family when I say we wish T.R. Knight the best in his future endeavors. He is an incredibly talented actor and a person whose strength of character is admired by all of us.”

T.R. himself has released this statement: “Leaving ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ was not an easy decision for me to make. I am extremely grateful to have had the opportunity to play this character and will miss my fellow cast and crew very much. I continue to wish them the very best, and wholeheartedly thank all of the fans who have supported me and the show with such passion and enthusiasm.”
