Chris Carmack feels established on 'Grey's Anatomy' now

Chris Carmack has shared his thoughts on feeling at home after six years on the set of Grey’s Anatomy. Carmack joined the show in 2015 as a love interest for Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo. When that relationship ended, he was unsure about his character, Link's future on the show. In a recent podcast episode, Carmack, 44, revealed he struggled to feel part of the cast initially. He remarked that with such a long-running show and established characters, it took time to adjust. After six years, he expressed relief to finally feel like he belonged. He emphasized that this feeling wasn't due to discomfort from others but rather the established dynamics of the show. Cohost Jessica Capshaw, who joined as Arizona Robbins in season 5, echoed his sentiments. She recalled feeling a hierarchy among the cast during her early days. She noted the challenges of stepping into a well-known show that had faced its share of behind-the-scenes drama. Camilla Luddington, who plays Dr. Jo Wilson, also felt this hierarchy when she joined in 2012 but believes it has diminished over time. Carmack did not see his experience as hierarchical, highlighting how familiarity with the cast improves performance. He explained that knowing the other characters and their stories enhances his acting. Carmack expressed admiration for his talented colleagues, saying he felt amazed to work alongside such skilled actors on a beloved show.
