Patrick Dempsey, or Dr. McDreamy as we know him best, started his career as an 80s teen heartthrob. He made his way out of the cookie-cutter roles and into bigger and more challenging performances in Can’t Buy Me Love. Two years later he became TV’s favorite and hottest neurosurgeon on Greys Anatomy. Patrick also starred in romantic comedy Sweet Home Alabama with Reese Witherspoon, and Disney’s Enchanted. He is married to Jillian Fink and has three children.
