Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. On which of the following shows has T.R. Knight not guest-starred?

Answer: Sex and the City

Knight plays George O'Malley on "Grey's Anatomy". He also played a character named Zero Adams on a 2004 episode of "CSI", a character named Alex on "Frasier" in 2004, and on "Sesame Street" in 2006 as a character named Private I. T.R. Knight has also made the news recently because of the controversy over his public announcement that he is homosexual and because of anti-gay slurs made on the set of "Grey's".
2. Patrick Dempsey had a major role in which 1987 movie?

Answer: Can't Buy Me Love

Dempsey, "Grey's" Dr. McDreamy Derek Shepherd, played the lead male role in "Can't Buy Me Love". He was Ronald Miller, a teenager who paid a popular girl to go out with him. I must have seen this movie a hundred times before I realized that dorky Ronald was dreamy Patrick! Another of Dempsey's notable roles was opposite Reese Witherspoon in 2002's "Sweet Home Alabama".
3. Ellen Pompeo was working as a bartender when she was 'discovered' by an agent.

Answer: True

Ellen Pompeo is the show's star, Meredith Grey. She was bar tending at the SoHo Bar and Grill when an agent approached her and asked if she was interested in making commercials. She did commercials for L'Oreal and Citibank, as well as guest-starred in "Law and Order" and "Friends" before catching her big break with "Grey's". Pompeo also played a secondary role in the 2003 movie "Old School".
4. At the same time she held a recurring role on "Grey's", Kate Burton had another role on which TV series, that also included a subplot involving Alzheimer's disease?

Answer: Rescue Me

Kate Burton played Meredith's mother, Ellis Grey, on the show. She has a long list of acting credits to her name, including television, movies and Broadway. In "Grey's Anatomy", it was her character who suffered from Alzheimer's; on "Rescue Me", she played Rose, the love interest of a man whose wife has Alzheimer's.
5. Justin Chambers was a former male model for which company?

Answer: Calvin Klein

Chambers plays the arrogant Alex Karev on "Grey's Anatomy". He was 'discovered' in Paris by a modeling scout and went to work as a model all across Europe, Japan, and finally the United States. He was the face of CK for a fragrance campaign and also did some work for Armani.
6. In which other television show did Katherine Heigl play another character named Isabel?

Answer: Roswell

Heigl jokes that she must have been named Isabel in a past life. She plays Isobel (Izzie) Stevens on "Grey's", Isabel Evans on "Roswell", and Isabel Linton in a 2003 made-for-TV version of "Wuthering Heights". She starred in her own movie "Knocked Up", which is set to hit theatres in the summer of 2007.
7. Sandra Oh is Canadian.

Answer: True

Sandra Oh plays the sarcastic and ambitious Cristina Yang on "Grey's Anatomy". She grew up in Nepean, a suburb of Ottawa, Ontario. She has appeared in many television shows and movies, including "Big Fat Liar"(2002) and "The Princess Diaries"(2001).
8. Eric Dane had a recurring role in which Aaron Spelling-produced series?

Answer: Charmed

Eric Dane plays Mark Sloan, a.k.a McSteamy. He played Jason Dean on "Charmed" for a total of ten episodes over two seasons. At the beginning of his career he had a lot of bit parts in shows such as "Saved By The Bell", "Roseanne" and "Married...With Children", but despite all that he is probably best known for his infamous scene in "Grey's" in which he is dripping wet, fresh out of the shower, and wearing only a towel.
9. Chandra Wilson won a 2006 Emmy Award for her role as Miranda Bailey.

Answer: False

Wilson was nominated for the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Drama Series in 2006, but did not win. She did, however, win the 2007 Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Female Actor in a Drama Series, as well as shared the SAG Award for Best Ensemble in a Drama Series with the rest of the "Grey's" cast.
10. Kate Walsh appeared in which movie with another member of the "Grey's" cast?

Answer: Under the Tuscan Sun

Kate Walsh plays Addison Montgomery-Shepherd on "Grey's Anatomy". She had a small role in "Under the Tuscan Sun"(2003) with Sandra Oh, who had a bigger part. Walsh and Oh played a lesbian couple who were expecting a baby (that Sandra Oh's character was carrying).
