Eric Stoltz News

There's a killer coming to Seattle Grace. E! Online spoke exclusively with Eric Stoltz about his upcoming three-episode guest starring role on Grey's Anatomy, and what he says about his death-row inmate character sounds downright ominous.

Eric teases about the purpose of his character, which debuts tomorrow in "Wish You Were Here" (follow link for some quality sneak previews): "I would have to say that I insinuate myself in between Mer and Der in a way that isn't exactly helpful."

Hmm. What do you suppose that could mean?

Says Eric (with a fair amount of feigned affrontery), "I'm not about to tell you what happens! Why would anyone do that? I wouldn't want to know what happens!"

Seriously though, who is this fellow, and how does he impact the delicate fabric of relationships - professional and otherwise - at Seattle Grace? As Stoltz tells it:

"My character's name is William Dunn, and he's a death-row inmate who came to Seattle Grace due to the fact that he has a shiv shoved in his back during a fight in the prison yard."

"The nature of his crime is actually revealed in the episode of show that airs on Thursday night, so I would hate to give it away right now."

Looks like Izzie Stevens won't be the only crazy person roaming the halls of Seattle Grace come January: actor Eric Stoltz has recently been cast as a serial killer in need of immediate medical attention at Seattle Grace. Sounds intense even by SGH standards!

The future star of Sci-Fi's Caprica, who certainly proved he can play a believable sociopath in Pulp Fiction and Killing Zoe, will appear in three episodes of Grey' Anatomy.

Eric Stoltz' story line, which takes a surprising turn around the second of his three episodes, will raise a number of thorny ethical questions for McDreamy and company.

He didn't have to travel far for his audition: Stoltz has directed several Grey's Anatomy episodes this year, most recently "These Ties That Bind" on November 13.
