Isiah Washington gets a new gig

[DaemonSeid]

LOS ANGELES - Isaiah Washington, bouncing back from his "Grey's Anatomy" firing with a role on a new NBC drama and prospects for his own network series, said Monday he's grateful for an unexpected second chance.


"I'm humbled by this opportunity," Washington told The Associated Press, shortly before NBC announced he would be joining its new series "Bionic Woman" for a five-episode arc. Washington and NBC Universal Studios also are developing an action series.

He said his dismissal from ABC's hit medical show after his repeated use of an anti-gay slur was "an unfortunate misunderstanding for everyone" that he was eager to move past.



"What I always wanted to put at the forefront is my creativity, that thing I want to do, which is act," Washington said.

He is going to do 5 episodes on NBC's new version of The Bionic Woman. But, he is killing himself because he still wants to talk about the incident that happened with T.R. Knight.

Come on dude don't fall into the trap of rehashing the inncident just because they want to talk about it still.Your response should have been....I refuse to talk about that situation any further or just say to Larry King, entertainment tonight, extra and the rest of those tabloid shows and mags. NO COMMENT!!!!

And another thing did you actually think that they (ABC) were going to keep you on the show after your bid in rehab for the slur????? I mean even Stevie Wonder could see that you were going to be fired.

I never watched him in Grey's but I liked him in his previous roles, so good for him.
