Justin Chambers doesn't want T.R. Knight to hang up his scrubs just yet.
"T.R. is an amazing actor and I want him to be there as long as I'm on there," Chambers, who plays Dr. Alex Karev on Grey's Anatomy, told us the other night at the Salvatore Ferragamo benefit for L'Aquila Earthquake victims. "He's wonderful to work with."
Besides, Knight's character, Dr. George O'Malley, has so much growing to do...
"That's one great thing about the show," Chambers said. "All the characters have so much to explore. The audience followed these young interns coming into this hospital and now they're residents, but they have more to learn as far as surgery, social skills and manners."
Former Grey's star Melissa George says she's not convinced that Knight is definitely leaving. No matter what happens, she said, "He will go on to bigger and better things."
