Justin Chambers

Over the course of 15 seasons, Justin Chambers charmed audiences on Grey’s Anatomy, as Alex Karev. He ended up leaving in early 2020, citing “no good time” to exit the show, realizing his life was now defined by the role he had played, for better or worse.

The decision was made in an effort to diversify his range as an actor, looking for roles that weren’t part of a medical drama, despite him making $250,000 per episode. His final episode was released to the public in November of 2019, with fans expressing their sadness at him no longer being part of the cast.
