The Grey's Anatomy vet, who played Dr. Owen Hunt for nearly two decades, just landed the lead in ITV's upcoming thriller, miniseries called The Only. Suspect. It's his first big role since announcing his exit from the ABC hit back in March. The story follows Alex, a guy who buried a body during a wild storm in the mid-1990s. Fast forward. And his wife, Beth, kicks off a neighborhood project, turning an old railway track into a nature trail right where that body is hidden. What starts as a community win turns into Alex's worst nightmare. McKid calls it like coming home since he got a start with some early guest spots on British TV. He's hyped about diving into Alex's twisted layers and teaming up with director Farron Blackburn and a solid cast of UK talent. Meanwhile, his Grey's send-off wraps after the season 22 finale alongside Kim Raver.
