Patrick Dempsey as Dr. Derek Shepherd on Grey's Anatomy

Working on Grey's Anatomy has certainly revived Patrick Dempsey's career, but finding fame once again hasn't proven to be all that great. He spends about 14 hours on the set each day, with a schedule that is likely to change at any given moment.

Evrn though he might be making millins it is still hard as hell for him. I mean seriously it must be a real pain waking up early every single morning. Plus he has very young kids. That must be hard on them.
