Gay Grey's Anatomy star T.R. Knight has recorded a public service announcement in a bid to help other closeted homosexuals 'come out.' The actor claims he was "forced out" after former castmate Isaiah Washington used a derogatory gay slur in an on-set row - and he has since been championed by gay rights groups for taking a stand.

Gay actor T.R. Knight was left bemused by a recent tabloid report that he enjoyed a double-date with Katherine Heigl and her fiancé Josh Kelley - because his supposed boyfriend was Heigl's mother.

Katherine Heigl has praised her Grey's Anatomy co-star T.R. Knight for the "dignified" way in which he handled the Isaiah Washington controversy. Washington was fired from the U.S. TV show earlier this year - after using a homophobic slur during an onset argument with Patrick Dempsey which prompted Knight to 'come out' as a homosexual.

Patrick Dempsey has noticed the "lighter" atmosphere on the set of medical drama Grey's Anatomy since the departure of controversial cast mate Isaiah Washington.

Actor Isaiah Washington escaped the controversy surrounding his Grey's Anatomy scandal and subsequent firing by focusing on his charity work in Sierra Leone. Washington was fired from the U.S. TV show earlier this summer after using a homophobic slur during an onset argument with co-star Patrick Dempsey last October which prompted another co-star, T.R. Knight to 'come out' as a homosexual.

Signing on for five episodes of NBC’s upcoming new fall series Bionic Woman should help Isaiah Washington overcome the sting of losing an estimated $2.7 million salary after his Grey’s Anatomy contract was not renewed, according to Star magazine.

Disgraced actor Isaiah Washington is fuming over a new TV interview in which he seemed to poke fun at former Grey's Anatomy co-star Patrick Dempsey for not sticking up for him in the aftermath of his gay slur scandal. Washington was rowing with Dempsey on the set of the medical drama last year when he uttered the word 'faggot', which sparked a major controversy.

Actor Isaiah Washington has landed his first TV role after being fired from Grey's Anatomy for using a homophobic slur during an on-set fight with co-star Patrick Dempsey. Washington was dismissed by bosses at U.S. TV network ABC earlier this summer - seven months after the behind-the-scenes fracas hit the headlines, prompting another co-star, T.R. Knight to 'come out' as a homosexual.

Isaiah Washington will guest-star in an arc of five episodes on NBC's new drama series "Bionic Woman," it was announced today at NBC's Summer Press Tour in Beverly Hills, CA. In addition, the network and studio are developing an action-series project with Washington based on an idea from Washington.

Isaiah Washington has blamed his former Grey's Anatomy co-star Patrick Dempsey's poor time-keeping for the furious bust-up that cost him his job on the show. Washington was eventually fired from the hospital drama after he was accused of using a homophobic slur against gay castmember T.R. Knight.
