Patrick Dempsey Skips SAGging for Racing

Patrick Dempsey returns to LAX airport in Los Angeles, Calif. on Monday after racing in the Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona event at the International Speedway in Daytona Beach.

Patrick skipped out of the SAG awards to race. What a diehard!

His team finished 24th out of 66 cars due to a damaged oil cooler and the loss of 40+ laps due to repairs.

He’s grateful and he always thanks Grey’s Anatomy for his success. If you’re searching the DIVA in the cast, take a look at Katherine Heigl.

He looks tired but still HOT!

Racing at the Rolex 24 was his dream. I’m so happy for him.

Amanda, Patrick is just as diva as most of the cast is I’m afraid. He has more tardies than anyone in the cast and to use stand-ins more than anyone. I think it’s easy to point figures at Heigl even though I think in the long run she will give you the most honest opinion, and answer from any of the cast. Heigl admitted her diva moments, and I was “yes finally a celeb who admits their flaws and doesn’t do facades”. IMO all actors are divas to a degree and it’s not necessarly a bad thing either…….you need a level of confidence to succeed…sometimes confidence is misinterpretated as arrogance. It’s just honestly from PD and KH I think you won’t necessarly get facades. You will from certain other castmembers on the set, but in the end KH socializes more with rest of the cast than PD does. We have yet seen PD socialize with other castmembers……..just find that interesting…….

PD is more diva than ANYONE hes too big to even hang around his castmates. KH goes out with them

awwww I love him! thanks jared!

We aren’t on the set of GA so we don’t know who the bigger ‘Diva’ is. As for everything, the cast works long hours…and when they are off they probably want to spend time with their families. Katherine doesn’t have three young kids…Patrick does. So in addition to working he has pretty big responsibilities at home…its understandable why he would have the most tardies. As for socializing with the the cast…same thing…KH is a lot younger and has a lot more free time. I don’t think he is doing it to spite the rest of the cast…besides…before the twins were born…there were a lot more instances of him being out and about with everyone else. Since they were born…he has a full time job caring for them…when they get a little older things will probably be easier.

As for who is a bigger diva…I am sure they all have their moments of being unreasonable. I mean who wouldn’t when you work long hours with the same people…it happens.

I really don’t see that as an excuse Sophie. I’m sorry…..Justin has five kids and in that he has a set of twins. Yet, he socializes with other castmembers ;). ITA on your paragraph on the diva moments. IMO I think celeb or non-celeb everyone has diva moments lol. I just find it kinda disappointing as a fan PD doesn’t socialize with any of the cast *shrugs*.

The comments here are very interesting. I was just reading his page at another site, and PD is loved so blindly it’s a bit scary. I think he is good looking, I will admit to that. However, when I read an interview with him, if it is not a publicist run interview, he will without a doubt say something that upsets me. First, he dissed Private Practice in an interview when he pretended to forget the show’s name. Then, he is always saying how wonderful the set is this year (implying that he thinks it is better without Isiah Washington and Kate Walsh). Now, I just read another interview where he says it would be terrible to be the next Drew Carey. It seems as though excuses will always be made for him (he has kids, the interviewer was a jerk, he’s tired, he’s busy, he’s so unhappy with the Mer/Der saga……I can go on and on.), but I don’t know about PD anymore. I loved him in Can’t Buy ME Love, but he has since lost his appeal to me. I’m not bashing anyone for liking him, but I’m just suggesting perhaps you are looking through rose colored glasses.

i think his a good husband and a father.that added to his super good looks.his eyes colud melt me.
