Simply the Best

When Eric first appeared on an episode of Grey's Anatomy in the second season, he wasn't sure what the future held for Dr. Sloan. Now that he is a cast regular, he finds himself adjusting to the sudden superstardom. "When I first started filming the show, people would come up and say, 'Hi.' And I automatically assumed that maybe we went to high school together," he says. "I'm getting a bit more used to it. I'm putting two and two together."

Eric says his wife, actress Rebecca Gayheart, is getting in on the fun, too. "She gets a kick out of it. I actually make her call me McSteamy a few times a week," he jokes.
