Cast : Alex Karev

CHARACTER


Seattle Grace Hospital
Intern Quarterly Evaluation

----------------------------------------------------
Physician's Name : Alex Karev
Service : Surgery
Evaluator's Name : Dr. Calliope Torres
----------------------------------------------------

Strengths:
I have to admit Karev really cares about his patients. I really thought he would always stick to Plastics, but lately, he has had a gift in the Neo-Natal Service. He seems to have a way with those babies. or maybe with the mothers.

Weaknesses:
Unfortunately he frequently shows disregard to his superiors - choosing to do what HE thinks is right, rather than follow hospital protocol or listen to orders. It's even worse now that he's a resident. Always wanting to switch cases or yell at his interns, hopefully it won't get worse.

Past Performance at SGH:
Though he failed his boards in the beginning, Karev seems to be growing more mature since his intern year and hopefully will learn to curb his stubbornness and attitude as he advances into this next year. He just needs to learn when to keep his mouth shut.

Additional Comments:
If it wasn't for Karev, I don't think our ferry boat Jane Doe (or as Karev named her, 'AVA') would have made it. He went far beyond his surgical duties and really put in the time to help her recover. He spent a lot of time in her room.

ACTOR

Alex Karev
AS PLAYED BY JUSTIN CHAMBERS

Justin Chambers was born and raised in Springfield, Ohio. Discovered on a subway in Paris, he began his career as a professional model working throughout Europe, Japan and the U.S. with contracts at Calvin Klein and Armani, among others.

Setting his sights on acting, Chambers moved to New York and studied for four years at H.B. Studios and Ron Stetson Studios. His training garnered him several television roles, including "Another World," "New York Undercover," "Rose Hill," with Jennifer Garner, and "Four Corners," with Ann-Margaret.

Described as "part James Dean, part Marlon Brando" (Harper's Bazaar, 1998), Chambers got his big break when he was cast in his first feature film, "Liberty Heights," directed by Barry Levinson. As a privileged but good-hearted troublemaker, he proved that he had the acting chops to hold his own opposite co-star Adrien Brody, and soon went on to play the lead role of D'Artagnan in Universal's action/adventure, "The Musketeer." Additionally Chambers starred opposite Jennifer Lopez in the hit romantic comedy, "The Wedding Planner," and with Uma Thurman in HBO's critically acclaimed "Hysterical Blindness." He will soon appear in Neil LaBute's ("In The Company Of Men") film, "Lakeview Terrace," opposite Samuel L. Jackson, Kerry Washington and Patrick Wilson.

Chambers currently resides in NY with his wife and five children.
