“I’m mad as hell, and I’m not going to take it anymore” said the 43 year old actor when learning that his contract would not be renewed. He is no longer going to play Dr. Preston Burke on Grey’s Anatomy and get that fabulous salary which supports his lifestyle.
He used an anti-gay epithet backstage at the Golden Globe Awards in January while denying he’d used it previously on the set against cast mate T.R. Knight when everyone heard him say it! He apologized after first denying the allegation. He said he was seeking therapy. Well, doesn’t everyone in Hollywood go for therapy anyway. He made a public service announcement saying that words hurt. Really! Maybe next time he will think first before defaming a colleague. Goodbye and good riddance. This should have been done immediately after he outed a cast member. It took five months for ABC to do the right thing.
