PATRICK DEMPSEY
Patrick Dempsey born January 13, 1966 in the USA
Known by many as Derek Shepherd in the American TV series "Grey's Anatomy", in which he plays the role of a neurosurgeon for eleven seasons.
As a child he suffered from dyslexia, a disorder that caused him problems integrating into school, for this reason he devoted himself completely to sports until he won the local ski championship and approached the theater.
At the age of 17 he was called for an audition in New York and in 1985 he made his debut on the screen in the film Catholic Boys.
After his success in the 1987 comedy Playboy on Trial, he was followed by roles in classic teen comedies such as Meatballs 3: Porcelloni in vacanza (1987), Seduttore a domicilio (1989) and Mad About It (1989) alongside a young Brad Pitt.
In September 2012, he took part in the Maserati Trofeo World Series with driver and stuntman Greg Tracy at Sonoma Raceway in California and in June 2013, he took part for the second time in the 24 Hours of Le Mans aboard the Porsche 911 GT3 of the Dempsey Del Piero Proton team, a team he founded a few months earlier with Alessandro Del Piero.
