Exclusive: 'Grey's Anatomy' admits 'Veronica Mars' grad Ryan Devlin

ryan-devlinImage Credit: Todd Williamson/WireImage.com; Michael Kovac/FilmMagicA critical new detail has emerged about Mandy Moore’s role in Grey’s Anatomy‘s two-hour finale on May 20: She’s married to Ryan Devlin!

Sources confirm to me exclusively that the ex-Veronica Mars and Big Shots actor has been cast as Bill, the husband of the patient played by Moore’s character, Mary. Little else is known about the story, except that Bailey will serve as Mary’s doctor.

The Grey’s gig caps a busy couple of months for the in-demand Devlin. In addition to snagging a lead role opposite William Shatner in the CBS pilot S–t My Dad Says, he’s currently recurring on Cougar Town as a love interest to Busy Philipps’ Laurie.

    He’s a cutie.

  • Kyle

    jesus when will everyone learn how to spell her name—it’s Busy PHILIPPS

    • good lord

      yeah cause people care about her it could 58 p’s in it and no one cares

    • Tego Livi

      When you use a stupid name like “Busy” professionally, people tend to give you little thought.

  • brookedubz

    I don’t even know who this kid is.

    • Jennifer

      Brookedubz — you don’t? he’s been on a bunch of stuff. Well obviously you will know him soon since he’s gonna be on a huge hit TV show (S…my Dad Says) and the Grey’s finale! He’s also all over Cougartown.

  • kayle

    Wow, Ryan Devlin is becoming the “it” guy! Adorable!

  • Greg

    Hate to spoil it for everyone, but this guy is GAY. No doubt about it.

    • @Greg

      I don’t know if it’s just the pic, but this guy looks like he’s 10 years old.

    • Johnification

      Oh no! I retroactively hate everything he’s done!

      Seriously, Greg, who gives a crap? It’s 2010. And by the way…gay actors? Yeah, there are none of those…

    • chris

      That doesn’t spoil a thing. I love him even more now.

  • Melissa

    Unfortunately, Greg’s right… he is gay. Sad but true.

    • Mike

      Oh boy, if he’s gay.. I’m all over it.

    • tvguides

      he’ll change soon…hopefully

  • Rica

    Honestly, I had to look up who he was on VM. He didn’t look familiar, and I was a pretty rabid fan.

    • Kat

      Same here.

    • Lindsay

      He played a *pretty* big role in the dape rape case in VMars’ s3 story arc.

      • Sarah

        Yeah, I barely remember Season 3. I tend to think of the good days of VM.

      • Rica

        Yeah, and even during that arc I had to turn to my friend and ask who the heck the guy was. Sorry, but season 3 really sucked.

  • Alexis

    I remember who he was on Vmars, but whenever there’s a post about vmars alum I always get excited thinking it will be jason dohring, francis capra, or teddy dunn etc.

    • Lindsay

      True that.

      Give us some Jason Dohring scoop! It’s been way too long since he’s been on our TV sets.

    • Kell

      lol, Teddy Dunn? He’s a terrible actor.

      • Jaymii

        I wouldn’t mind Capra getting a more long term role on some gritty drama.

      • bdoll

        yeah teddy dunn is pretty wooden. i love seeing ryan devlin on cougartown but there aren’t many actors out there that would entice me to tune into grey’s anatomy.

  • Lindsey

    Crap, I hate Grey’s Anatomy, but now I’m going to have to watch this. I figured I could skip it when it was just Mandy Moore, but Mandy AND Ryan Devlin? Maybe I’ll just wait for it to be online, so I can skip over the scenes they’re not in…

  • M

    This guy was barely on VM and has done lots of other stuff since, but of course Ausiello mentions VM in the title because he knows all the crazed VM fans will race to click on the story. I’m really not sure which party is more annoying in this case.

    • Tego Livi

      Ausiello has a short list of shows he’s obsessed with, and always refers to roles actors played on them, no matter how small, over more important credits that people are more likely to have seen. I’ve seen him refer to single-episode roles on Buffy the Vampire Slayer for actors who had starring roles on entire series. He’s more of a niche TV gossip columnist than a serious TV journalist.

  • Franny

    He’s hot and talented, a killer combination. I haven’t watched Grey’s since the first season, but I’ll have to tune in for this. Maybe they can call him McCutie:) And the Shatner show sounds freaking hilarious.

  • chris

    Dude is hot!!! I hope to see more of him on the small and big screen.

  • sina

    Please tell me she’s not going to sing

  • vmarsfan

    Jason will be guest starring on Lie to Me soon. If you ask me, CW passing on Body Politic was one of the worst choices made. It was slightly cheesy but it had a diverse cast and potential to have great storylines.

  • Melissa

    As soon as I saw this guy on Cougar Town, I immediately realized he looks and sounds just like “Dell” (Chris Lowell) from Private Practice. Has anyone noticed the resemblance???

    • Lindsey

      Not at all.

    • Petra

      No, sorry.

    • Tego Livi

      I saw a guy on a rerun of Bones today who looks a lot more like Dell than this guy does. This guy kind of reminds me of a young Tim Matheson.
