Former Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington is fuming after the show's bosses used him to promote the latest episode - after he had been fired. Washington's contract on the ABC medical drama wasn't extended after he used homophobic language during an argument with co-star T.R. Knight.

So he was stunned to see his face feature in a new promo aired on the network - showing his character Dr. Preston Burke in a newspaper cutting.

His spokesperson tells TMZ.com, "Isaiah has no plans to go back to Grey's Anatomy ... That being said, we were more than a little surprised that ABC used his likeness in a promo for the show, and indeed advanced his character's storyline. Mr. Washington's attorney has contacted the Screen Actors Guild and ABC as to the appropriateness of that action."
