Just Because: Kevin McKidd



Every season, tv shows attempt to keep viewers interested by introducing new characters. Most shows fail at this however. Producers never seem to get that what most viewers want are not new characters, but good storylines for the original core cast they grew to love, not new blood to take storyline away from the other cast members. Sometimes though, shows get it right. One great example of it working was the introduction of Kerr Smith on Dawson's Creek. There are many new characters that simply fall flat. I must say that I was blown away by the introduction of Kevin McKidd on Grey's Anatomy last week. The season opener was very well done and Kevin's character, Owen, was both interesting and hot. He will be a great character for Christina (The over the top talented Sandra Oh) to play off of. You could feel the heat between these characters from the get go! Well done Grey's with the introduction of this great new addition!

I hope you've seen Kevin play gay in the gay British farce Bedrooms and Hallways which is actually a pretty good flick.
