'Anatomy' Star T.R. Knight Says He's Gay

(10-19) 17:07 PDT New York (AP) --

"Grey's Anatomy" star T.R. Knight says he's gay, but hopes people don't consider that "the most interesting part of me." The 33-year-old actor addressed rumors of his sexuality in a statement to People magazine Thursday.

"I guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I'd like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there," Knight's statement read. "While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I'm gay isn't the most interesting part of me."

Knight plays Dr. George O'Malley on the popular ABC drama. A former stage actor, his television credits also include "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and "Law & Order: Criminal Intent."

Knight's "Grey's Anatomy" character, a bumbling, puppy-eyed surgeon, has long been in love with Dr. Meredith Grey (Ellen Pompeo).

That would explain the little tiff between Dempsey & Washington.... ANYWAYS I applaud male actors who makes the tough decision to do it or not. If they do it could open new doors or starts closing on them.

Damn it!

EDIT: Wait, that sounded wrong. I'm not saying damn it because he's gay. I'm saying it because now i have even less of a chance. ha

Good for him. That takes a lot of courage to do that. I mean, I am sure that is a huge weight off his shoulders and now he can be himself more and not have to hide his true self (cough Tom Cruis cough).

Under the heading: Well, duh!

I like his response. It's like reporters ask "Are you gay?" and he responds with "Yeah, so what??"
