Dr. Levi Schmitt said goodbye to “Grey’s Anatomy,” ending his 133-episode run with a true happy ending.
Actor Jake Borelli, who joined the cast of the ABC medical drama as a recurring player in Season 14 before becoming a series regular in Season 16, loved the “slow burn” approach the writers took in unfolding Levi’s farewell in Season 21. After pondering a position as a general surgeon attending at Grey Sloan Memorial, Levi decided to pursue his passion for pediatric surgery by accepting a research job in San Antonio to boost his resume for fellowships in that field — leaving his old coworkers behind.
