T.R. Knight heading back to Shonda Rhimes universe

Former Grey’s Anatomy star T.R. Knight is heading back to the Shonda Rhimes universe with a recurring role on The Catch.
The actor starred in the hit medical drama for its first five seasons, but left the show in 2009. Seven years later, he’s reuniting with former boss Rhimes, as well as Grey’s co-executive producers Allan Heinberg and Betsy Beers, for a gig on caper drama The Catch.
“Working with Shonda, Betsy, and Allan again fills me with immense joy,” Knight said in a statement. “I am heartened to be returning to Shondaland and excited to work with this exceptional cast!”
Rhimes added, “This has been a thrilling secret to keep! One of my favourite family members is home!”
And while details of Knight’s character are being kept under wraps, Heinberg reveals they only had the Grey’s alum in mind for the new role.
“Shonda, Betsy, and I are beyond excited to have T.R. back in the Shondaland family – and on The Catch in a role the was created and written especially for him.” Heinberg says.
Knight earned an Emmy nomination for his role as Dr. George O’Malley on Grey’s, which is gearing up for its 13th season. However, he was at the centre of controversy in 2006, when his co-star Isaiah Washington allegedly upset his gay co-star during an on-set argument by calling him a derogatory homophobic word.
Washington left the series in 2007, but returned for a guest appearance in 2014.
The Catch, which stars Peter Krause and Mirelle Enos, is slated to return for a second season early next year (17).
