Grey's Anatomy Cast Reflects on Denzel Washington's Directed Episode

Jason George, who portrays Dr. Ben Warren on Grey's Anatomy, shared insights on the cast's reaction to Oscar-winning actor Denzel Washington directing the Season 12 episode "The Sound of Silence" in 2016. George described the experience as incredible, noting that while the cast is usually professional, Washington's presence elevated everyone's performance and preparation, with female cast members even dressing up early in the morning for the shoot. He humorously pointed out that the women dressed more carefully than usual despite early call times. George also expressed a wish to see Washington act on the show, imagining him as a star doctor, though he acknowledged this is unlikely. The episode, known for its intense storyline involving Meredith Grey, benefited from Washington's direction, which left a lasting impression on the cast. Grey's Anatomy continues to be renewed, with its 22nd season expected in 2025.
