An excerpt from this interview with the always kind Kevin McKidd:

How does it feel to be the new kid on the block?

KEVIN MCKIDD: It’s really fun. I mean, I get to work with Sandra Oh, which is fantastic. I’ve always respected her work and when I was told my character and Sandra’s character fall for each other, that was my main pull to come to Grey’s Anatomy. It’s been really wonderful. I think we really focus hard on telling this story because it’s an important story, so being the new kid has been great. Everybody has been really nice to me, but they didn’t have to be. I’m very grateful for that.
