ALEX KAREV

played by Justin Chambers

Alex quotes

POSITION:
Resident

STRENGTHS:
Honest; has a steady hand; always tells it like it is

WEAKNESSES:
Mainly his mouth! He's also a bit of a smart-ass and his punctuality needs work.

LIKES:
Joe's bar; wrestling; nurses

DISLIKES:
Lying to patients; not getting any OR time; running errands for Dr. Mark Sloan.

FAMILY:
Alex grew up watching his father, a musician and drug addict, physically abuse his mother. He became a wrestler in college and eventually took his pent-up anger out on his dad. Soon after, Alex's father disappeared.

NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS:
Alex has been a bit of a womanizer. After an on/off relationship with Izzie Stevens, the pair are now 'just friends.' He's also been romantically linked to Nurse Olivia, Lexie Grey and, very recently, a former patient named Rebecca.

OTHER:
Alex had shown promise in neonatal surgery under the watchful eyes of Dr. Addison Montgomery, despite the fact he never wanted to work on "the vagina squad." Recently, though, Alex seems to have been enjoying plastics.
