T.R. Knight is a douchebag. He’s not a “cutie” either. Not sure who told you that. To each his own I guess.

Good points, all. Frankly, I think he’s shooting himself in the foot if he doesn’t already have something lined up now.

For as much as Katherine Heigl annoys me (and believe me, she does), she already has one project in the can and three more in the pipeline, which is more than people could say for Caruso back then or Knight now.

As far as his resume to date, he has two Law & Order guest spots, and a guest spot each on C.S.I. and Frasier, plus a couple of indie projects. Hope he likes waiting tables…

maybe TRK will join the cast of “private practice.” no?

wouldn’t it be great if he already had a gig lined up for a gay-interest show, though?

I wonder if Knight is pulling a David Caruso, who famously left “NYPD Blue” because he thought he had a great movie career awaiting him. Caruso’s movie career never materialized and he lost about 10 years in his career before he had a comeback with “CSI: Miami.”

There are few decent roles in network TV. Budgets are being cut and scripted TV shows are being replaced with reality TV and Jay Leno.

For the network, the loss of Heigel and Knight frees up a lot of money from its budget, affording a bigger financial cushion and the ability to hire cheaper labor.

Knight’s character George on “Grey’s” has been fairly absent most of the season. All of the other male cast members on the show are aggressive, sexy leading men. George is a sweet goof who cheated on his wife.

In general, “Grey’s” has some problems but so did “Desperate Housewives.” “DH” turned things around quickly. Why shouldn’t “Grey’s”?
