T.R. Knight, who plays Dr. George O’Malley in the hit ABC medical drama “Grey’s Anatomy,” has officially come out in the media. Knight, 33, told People magazine in a statement on Thursday that he is indeed gay, which has been rumoured for some time.

“I guess there have been a few questions about my sexuality, and I’d like to quiet any unnecessary rumors that may be out there,” Knight said in the statement. “While I prefer to keep my personal life private, I hope the fact that I’m gay isn’t the most interesting part of me.”

Knight’s character on “Grey’s Anatomy” is the love interest of Dr. Meredith Grey, played by Ellen Pompeo. Before “Grey’s Anatomy,” Knight has also appeared in such show as “CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” and “Law & Order: Criminal Intent.”
