If a movie centering on Marvel Comics’ character Doctor Strange were to move forward, one actor has already cast his hat into the ring for the title role.
Grey’s Anatomy star Patrick Dempsey says he’d be interested in playing the Doctor Strange.
“It would be fantastic,” he tells the LA Times “It’d be a great TV show, especially for HBO or something like that.”
But Dempsey says he’d only consider coming back to TV if the series wasn’t on a network schedule.
“It’s just so hard to sustain the quality after three years if you’re doing 24, 25 episodes a year,” he explained.
Dempsey will be no stranger to big-budget, special-effects extravaganzas after this summer. He’s part of the cast of Transformers: Dark of the Moon.
“Hopefully, doing something like Transformers is about to show myself in an action situation where I’m not mister-weepy-doctor guy, you know, not McDreamy. You have to change that in people’s view. I’m still hungry for other things,” he says.
This guy's cool. I don't know if he'd be a good Doctor Strange, but I like him.
