Dr. Kim will be played by up-and-comer Alex Landi, who is slotted to appear in at least four episodes of the hit medical drama. He shared the exciting news in an Instagram video this week:
That hair. That face. That voice. OOF.
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
Some of Landi’s other credits include an appearance on the TV series Bull, as well as a role in the upcoming film Broken Land. In addition to acting, Landi is also a model and fitness guru.
Grey’s Anatomy has featured several LGBTQ characters in the past, including a lesbian pediatric surgeon Dr. Arizona Robbins (played by Jessica Capshaw) and a bisexual orthopedic surgeon Dr. Callie Torres (played by Sara Ramirez).
Last season, the show featured Candis Cayne, who played a trans patient seeking vaginoplasty surgery. The series also featured trans actor Alex Blue Davis, who played intern Casey Parker.

I haven’t watched Grey’s Anatomy in years but I’m glad they finally have an out gay surgeon and I’m glad to see they cast a hottie like Alex Landi in the role.

How did he escape being cast in Crazy Rich Asians?

Never watched one episode and this hot Asian isn’t changing that.

Believe it or not, but there are plenty of other Asian actors.
It’s not like the 1970s where the same two Asian actors played every Asian role.

He’s hot… but I just do not care

From what I’ve read on Queerty many gay Asians feel sidelined in American gay culture. Thank goodness for soaps!
