Raymond Liu // Getty Images Need a refresher on the current Grey’s Anatomy cast? Most of the main characters saving lives (and tangling lives) at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital in season 23 joined the long-running ABC series about four years ago. They’re basically babies! But a few are part of the larger lore. If you’re not caught up, or are in the process of catching up, here’s your guide to who’s who on Grey’s these days.
Three cast members have been on Grey’s Anatomy from the very beginning: Ellen Pompeo as Dr. Meredith Grey , Chandra Wilson as Dr. Miranda Bailey, and James Pickens Jr. as Dr. Richard Webber. If you don’t know the Grey’s Big Three by now, why are you here?!
There have been some recent shake-ups. Kim Raver, who played Dr. Teddy Altman, and Kevin McKidd, who played Dr. Owen Hunt, left at the end of Season 22. Scott Speedman, who used to be a main cast member, is now playing Dr. Nick Marsh in a recurring capacity. You’ll also occasionally see returning favorites Debbie Allen as Dr. Catherine Fox, James Wolk as Dr. Seth Norton, and Jennifer Landon as Dr. Toni Wright. There aren’t really any new characters this season. Schitt’s Creek alum Sarah Levy is on the guest star list, and will surely be joined by some more fun performers.
As for the major players, here’s who is on the clock:
First appearance: Grey’s Anatomy Season 9
Jo is a former intern and now an obstetrics and gynecology resident at Grey Sloan Memorial. In the previous season, she gave birth to twins.
Camilla Luddington had significant shows on Californication and True Blood before officially joining Grey’s back in the day. She does a lot of voice acting and motion capture work as well. You might know her as the DC superhero Zatanna and freakin’ Lara Croft Tomb Raider herself without ever having seen her face. She also played Kate Middleton in a television movie.
Caterina Scorsone plays Dr. Amelia Shepherd
First appearance: Private Practice Season 3, Grey’s Anatomy Season 7
Derek’s youngest sister started on the Grey’s spin-off and is now the Head of Neurosurgery at Grey Sloan Memorial.
Before becoming one of this franchise’s best players, Caterina starred in the modern romantic Wonderland miniseries Alice . Her film credits include The November Man and Edge of Darkness . She was also a major player on Canadian series Missing and Power Play .
First appearance: Grey’s Anatomy Season 6
Ben is a plastic surgery fellow and also Miranda’s hot husband!
George helped kick off Station 19 by reprising his Grey’s role. He was also on the underrated Shonda Rhimes series Off The Map . Outside of Shondaland, his credits include Eli Stone, Eastwick, Eve, Off-Centre, and 300+ episodes of Sunset Beach .
Chris Carmack plays Dr. Atticus “Link” Lincoln
First appearance: Grey’s Anatomy Season 15
Link is the Head of Orthopedic Surgery and Jo’s husband.
You surely know Chris from The O.C. and/or Nashville. His film credits include Alpha and Omega, Beauty & The Briefcase, Just My Luck, and Bring it On Again . He is also a stage actor who has performed off Broadway, on the West End, and at the Hollywood Bowl.
First appearance: Grey’s Anatomy Season 16
Winston is the Head of Cardiothoracic Surgery and the Director of the Residency Program.
This is Anthony’s longest-running role as a television actor, but he has been working steadily for years. His credits include Looking, Scream: The TV Series, How To Get Away With Murder, Fuller House, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Future Man, Watchmen, and This Is Us .
First appearance: Grey’s Anatomy Season 19
In addition to Grey’s , Alexis is known for starring in Inventing Anna and for her role as Tia on The Bold Type . She was also on an episode of the criminally underrated Apple TV+ series Dickinson . Prior to that, she was a New York stage actress off-Broadway.
Harry Shum Jr. plays Dr. Benson “Blue” Kwan
First appearance: Grey’s Anatomy Season 19
Well... Blue was a surgical resident. He was recently fired. We don’t know what he’s up to now, just that he’s still around.
Harry Shum Jr. is currently, as of publication, competing on Dancing with the Stars . You might also know him from Glee, Shadowhunters, or his hilarious cameo in Everything Everywhere All At Once . Remember when he showed up in the last few minutes of Crazy Rich Asians, said like two words , and was prominently featured in the end credits? King.
First appearance: Grey’s Anatomy Season 19
Like many Australian breakout actors, Adelaide Kane started on the Down Under soap opera Neighbours . She went on to star as Mary, Queen of Scots on Reign and recur as Cora on Teen Wolf . Kane played Drizella on the final season of Once Upon A Time that totally exists (–who said that?) On the big screen, she has a lot of horror credits including Blood Punch, The Devil’s Hand, and a little movie called The Purge.
First appearance: Grey’s Anatomy Season 19
Lucas is a surgical resident and a nepo baby–not that that really means anything on Grey’s . (He’s Derek and Amelia’s nephew, if you care.)
Niko Terho’s previous credits prior to Grey’s Anatomy include the titular role in the queer romance film The Thing About Harry, as well as an episode of the series Sweetbitter .
First appearance: Grey’s Anatomy Season 21
The newest member of the main cast is a former child actor who played Young Simba in The Lion King on Broadway and Aaron Jackson on both Black-ish and Grown-ish .
