entertainment">Dempsey himself is also mentioned in the book. The actor says that the work schedule broke him, but that he stayed with him for a long time Grey’s Anatomy stayed for the money. “It was hard to say no to such amounts. It’s quite something to work as an actor, on such a well-known show, which is watched all over the world and where you play a character that is so loved. That was quite a lot to deal with, and to let go of, because you never know if you’ll get another job and if you’ll be successful again.”

entertainment">Dempsey eventually left the series in 2015. Last season, he returned as Derek Shepherd in a dream of his television wife Meredith Gray (Ellen Pompeo).
