Rome, the movie in the works. What would that do for Kevin McKidd

Since he is now becoming a series regular on Grey's Anatomy as Major McHottie, would Kevin McKidd be so willing to leave the show so he can do Rome's movie version? He has to do the film, right? He's one of the two important characters on Rome, so he cannot take a pass. And they don't shoot in a studio, I suppose. They travel overseas for those authentic sights and background. What would that do to Major McHottie?

I read about Rome creator, Bruno Heller's, interview last week. He was talking about The Mentalist and mentioned Rome in passing. Although he did say, the movie is still under "talks", so it's premature to assume there will actually be one, unless the camera starts rolling.


But I would much rather see Kevin McKidd on this film than on Grey's Anatomy. Yeah, he's giving that show new life. It's probably why I'm still watching it. But I'm afraid the way things are going downhill over there, he's pretty much part of a sinking ship. And Kevin McKidd cannot be part of a sinking ship! His TV show before this, Journeyman, did fail. But that one at least had a decent story when it ended.

That said, I cannot wait for the film to get started.

Sneak Peek: Kevin McKidd on Grey's Anatomy

Uh oh. Christina sees Owen Hunt for the first time and she is drawn to him. Tough girl is smitten! Highly charged attraction, at first sight.

Owen Hunt is of course the newest character the writers are adding to the series. He's the military doctor they thought of pairing Christina up with. The character is played by Kevin McKidd (Rome & Journeyman). Is he going to bring something different? Is he and Christina going to click? We'll know in two weeks.

But here's a short clip from when Owen Hunt first steps into Seattle Grace:

Kevin McKidd on Grey's Anatomy?

So, what are they going to call him? He's already a "Mc".

Could another hot doc be scrubbing in at Seattle Grace next season? Kevin McKidd, the Scottish actor who headlined last season's time-traveling drama Journeyman, is in serious talks to join the cast. He'd play an M.D. who comes to the hospital after a stint in Iraq. It's expected to be a long story arc for McKidd, who also played the soldier Lucius Vorenus in HBO's regrettably short-lived Rome. | Via EW

Not so thrilled he's going to be on Grey's Anatomy... like that show needs more characters. But I am thrilled he's back on TV...him and his strong screen presence.
