Apparel Search has selected Patrick Dempsey as a fashion celebrity.
Two careers share this record. The acting career is anchored by a single role: neurosurgeon Dr. Derek Shepherd, "McDreamy", on the ABC medical drama Grey's Anatomy, preceded by several television appearances and an Emmy Award nomination, and surrounded by film work — Sweet Home Alabama, Made of Honor, Valentine's Day, With Honors, Flypaper, Freedom Writers and Transformers: Dark of the Moon. The second career is motor racing. Dempsey maintains an exclusive sports and vintage car collection, races in his spare time, and has competed in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, the Rolex 24 at Daytona and the Tecate SCORE Baja 1000 off-road race. Before the 2013 Le Mans he declared he would walk away from acting if he could and dedicate himself full-time to motorsports — the strongest statement in this directory of a second vocation competing with the first.
This page gathers Patrick Dempsey photos, videos, news and blog posts, with search routes to each through Bing, Google and YouTube. Dempsey stands in the P letter of the male directory alongside Pierce Brosnan, closing the Male Fashion Celebrities H-P range. A fashion celebrity in this guide is a person with celebrity status who is often watched and judged for what they wear, and Dempsey's double life gives that watching two wardrobes at once: the surgeon's television polish that earned the McDreamy nickname, and the race suits and vintage-car world of a serious amateur driver.
