Patrick Dempsey (born January 13, 1966 in Lewiston, Maine) is an American actor.
Dempsey first became prominent in Hollywood during the late 1980s. He is currently appearing as Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd on the medical drama Grey's Anatomy.
Dempsey's first major feature film role was at age 21 in the teen comedy Can't Buy Me Love in 1987. In 1989, he had the lead role in the film Loverboy.
Although the teen comedy and romance roles led to Dempsey being somewhat typecast for a time, he continued to be featured in film and television roles throughout the 1990s. Dempsey had a high-profile role as one of the suitors for Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama.
Current film roles include the 2007 Disney film, Enchanted. He is also lending his voice to Brother Bear 2.
Trivia
In 1994, Dempsey directed and cameoed in Ava's Magical Adventure, a children's adventure story in which his then wife had a role.
Dempsey is 5'10 1/2".
Because of the age difference in his first marriage, his stepson Corey Parker was actually one year his senior. The two remain friends.
Prior to landing the role of Derek Shepard, Dempsey auditioned for the role of Dr. Robert Chase on another medical show, House.
