PUBLISHED SEP 6, 2018

In a recent interview actor Patrick Dempsey, promoting his new series 'The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair',  revealed that he left the highly successful show 'Grey's Anatomy' that catapulted him to fame because he was a little bored. He also emphasized how he felt that he had chosen the right moment to quit the show, three years ago.

He told I News that it had been a decade and he wanted to get on with fresher things. "Look, 10 years is a long time to be on any show. It's very hard to keep the storylines intriguing, especially on a network show with 25 episodes a year. So for me, it was time to go ... it's nice to move on and have new challenges." But fans think otherwise. "They want me to come back to the show which, given what happened to Derek, is really quite funny," says the actor.
