Grey's Anatomy Facts
1. Alex who?
The character Alex Karev was not in the original pilot script; his role was inserted into the pilot as an afterthought in order to provide a foil, as well as male companionship for Dr. George O'Malley.
Since he wasn't added until after the pilot was shot, scenes with him were either re-shoots or digitally altered.
