Patrick Dempsey – Then
Patrick had been around for a while when he popped back up in several mainstream movies in the early 2000s. He made his comeback in films like Sweet Home Alabama and Scream 3, but a bigger role was on its way.
In 2005, a show premiered on ABC that would have fans intertwined in the lives of the doctors of a Seattle hospital for more than a decade to come. It was here, on Grey’s Anatomy, that Dempsey actually left his mark on many hearts as Derek Shepherd (otherwise known as McDreamy).
