When he signed on to portray Meredith Grey’s love interest on Grey’s Anatomy, Scott Speedman didn’t quite understand the fandom he was getting himself into. In this interview, he shares how Ellen Pompeo convinced him to join the show and reflects upon the roles that have resonated with him the most throughout his career. He also opens up about the recent birth of his daughter and how having a dog prepared him for parenthood – "That opened up my heart in such a specific way." Plus, he considers what his life might have looked like if he’d turned down his breakout role on Felicity (which he almost did).
