Patrick Dempsey

Birth name: Patrick Galen Dempsey

Birth date: 13.01.1966

Patrick Galen Dempsey (born January 13, 1966) is an American actor. He first became prominent in Hollywood during the late 1980s and is also known for his role as neurosurgeon Dr. Derek Shepherd on the medical drama Grey's Anatomy. During the 2000s, he also appeared in several film roles, including The Emperor's Club and Freedom Writers. Dempsey, an Irish American, was born in Lewiston, Maine and grew up in Turner, Maine, the youngest of three children born to Amanda and William Dempsey. Dempsey attended St. Dominic Regional High School, where his mother worked as a secretary, but dropped out before he graduated. He was an adept juggler, tying for second in a national juggling competition. Dempsey was discovered by an agent and invited to audition for a role in the stage production of Torch Song Trilogy. Dempsey's audition was successful, and he spent the following four months touring with the company in San Francisco. He followed this with another tour, Brighton Beach Memoirs, in the lead role, which was directed by Gene Saks. Dempsey has also made notable appearances in the stage productions of On Golden Pond, with the Maine Acting Company, and The Subject was Roses, which showed at the Roundabout Theatre in New York. Dempsey's first major feature film role was at age 21 in the teen comedy Can't Buy Me Love in 1987 with actress Amanda Peterson. In 1989, he had the lead role in the film Loverboy with actress Kirstie Alley and Happy Together with actress Helen Slater. Although the teen comedy and romance roles led to Dempsey being somewhat typecast for a time, he was able to avoid playing the same character as his career progressed. Dempsey made a number of featured appearances in television in the 1990s; he was cast several times in pilots that were not picked up for a full season, including lead roles in the TV versions of the films The Player and About A Boy. His first major television role was a recurring role as Will's closeted sportscaster boyfriend on Will & Grace. He went on to play the role of Aaron Brooks, Sela Ward's psychologically unbalanced brother, on Once & Again. Dempsey received an Emmy nomination in 2001 as Outstanding Guest Actor in a Drama Series for the role of Aaron. In 2004, he co-starred in the highly acclaimed HBO production, Iron Jawed Angels, opposite Hilary Swank and Anjelica Huston. Dempsey had a high-profile role as one of the suitors for Reese Witherspoon in Sweet Home Alabama. He also had a role as Detective Kincaid on Scream 3. Dempsey's most recent roles include the 2007 Disney film Enchanted, and the Paramount Pictures film Freedom Writers where he reunites with his Iron Jawed Angels co-star Hilary Swank. He also voiced the character Kenai in Brother Bear 2. Dempsey has been married twice. From 1987 to 1994, he was married to actress Rocky Parker. When the couple married, much was made in the media of the age difference between the two (and its parallels to Dempsey's film Loverboy); at the time, Dempsey was 21 years old, while Parker was 48. Because of the age difference in his first marriage, his stepson Corey Parker was actually one year his senior. The two remain friends. Dempsey remarried on July 31, 1999; his second wife is noted make-up artist and founder of Delux Beauty, Jillian Fink. The couple has three children: a daughter named Talula Fyfe, born in January 2002, and twin boys Darby Galen and Sullivan Patrick, born on February 1, 2007.[5] But he says himself that he has a crush on his co star Ellen Pompeo, who is "a dream" (his own words) he says about her : "Her eyes are alive-They pull you in. She's truthful, intelligent, and real. She doesn't over-analyze things, but if she has something to say, you listen because she's probably right. All these guys I know are completely in love with her." Rodelio Astudillo who was snapping away behind the scenes at Brian Bowen Smith's photoshoot said about them : "You'd think they were a couple" Dempsey enjoys racecar driving in his spare time. On June 27, 2004, he participated in race #2 of the Mid-Ohio Sports Car Course, driving a Panoz GTS race car. In 2007 he will race in the Rolex 24 at Daytona. Patrick is an avid racing enthusiast and has participated in the Panoz Series and the Pro Miata series. Dempsey has recently joined other celebrities in their quest to conquer the Baja 1000. He has raced Baja in 2005 and 2006, and plans to race again in 2007. He is currently the co-owner of Indycar Series team Vision Racing.
