ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT sat down with PATRICK DEMPSEY yesterday during promotion for his new film, “Enchanted.” Dempsey told ET that his ABC hit “Grey’s Anatomy” is not prepared for the pending Writers Guild of America strike, “We are not that far ahead. We have enough show to take us through Christmas, then we’ll see if that’s the end of the season.”

When asked if Hollywood is looking at a virtual shutdown, he said we could be, and expressed deep concern for crew members, “My concern is not so much for myself because I’ll be alright, but people that are living paycheck to paycheck are gonna be damaged profoundly and I think that’s a real tragedy.”
