McHotness!

Okay, so I've been wanting to do this pairing for a long time, and this week provides me the perfect opportunity to do so. This Thursday, April 24, ABC's mega-hit medical drama "Grey's Anatomy" returns to the small screen with its first post-strike episode. HOORAY! I think I speak for many of my fellow telephiles when I say it has been a long winter!
So, in celebration of this blessed event, this week's hotties are none other than the gorgeous-beyond-words Patrick Dempsey and Eric Dane.

Patrick Dempsey, who portrays neurosurgeon Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Sheperd on "Grey's", started his acting career in the 80's with a role in the short-lived series "Fast Times", a tv spin-off of the hit comedy Fast Times At Ridgemont High. He went on to star in several cult hit romantic comedies, most notably Can't Buy Me Love and Loverboy. His career hit a major slump until his dashing turn as one of Reese Witherspoon's suitors in the 2002 hit rom-com Sweet Home Alabama.
Dempsey also had a small role in the horror film Scream 3. He has a string of pre-Grey's guest appearances under his belt, including "Will & Grace", "The Practice", and "Once and Again". His star hit mega-watt status in 2005 with his role on "Grey's", earning him two Golden Globe nominations, a prominent place as one of People magazine's list of 50 Most Beautiful People three years running and one of 2006's Sexiest Men Alive. Dempsey again played leading man alongside Amy Adam's displaced fairy tale princess in 2007's hit Disney family film, Enchanted.
He stars in yet another rom-com, Made of Honor, co-starring Michelle Monaghan and "Journeyman's" Kevin McKidd, in theaters May 2.

Before he was cast as "Grey's" cocky plastic surgeon Dr. Mark "McSteamy" Sloan, Eric Dane had guest roles on several popular television shows, including "Charmed", "Married With Children" and "Las Vegas". Dane has held supporting roles in movies such as the slasher flick Feast, co-starring real life best friend Balthazar Getty, Open Water 2, and X-Men: The Last Stand. He is currently filming the comedy Marley & Me, based on John Grogan's best-selling memoir, co-starring Owen WIlson and Jennifer Aniston.
So, I know it's a toughie, but, who's hotter?

Patrick



or


Eric



FUN FACT: Grey's is not the first time these hot doctors have tried their hand at medicine. Patrick auditioned for the role of Dr. Robert Chase on the Fox medical drama "House"; the role went to Jesse Spencer.
Eric starred on the short-lived ABC medical drama "Gideon's Crossing" as Dr. Wyatt Cooper.

Look, drool, debate and VOTE!

Voting ends on Wednesday, April 30 at 2 pm PST.

Don't forget, all new episodes of "Grey's Anatomy" start this Thursday, April 24! (check local listings for airtimes)

Hopefully, I will have a new post ready for Monday.




UPDATE: The votes are in! FInal Tally:
Patrick-2
Eric-0

I wholeheartedly agree with my voters. Patrick is indeed hotter than Eric-that smile, those eyes, that hair-golly! What more could you possibly ask for?

Thanks for voting, and thank you for your well wishes. I am feeling much better this week. Be sure to vote on this week's post, and spread the word!
