Lesley,
I think you misunderstood. He was made scarce so no one would immediately think that John Doe was George, his decreased exposure had nothing to do with the elevator scene. And in regards to the shaved head, originally JDM was filmed with KH. The episode wrapped and the season ended. Probably during post is when Shonda decided to have George in the elevator, and since the season had already wrapped in terms of filming, that's when TR already had his head shaved. So when Shonda decided to reshoot that portion of the finale, the shaved head aspect of it worked since it fit with the military uniform.
I hope that clarifies it for you.

If I remember correctly, Shonda said she knew exactly what she wanted in the season finale since the beginning of the season. In order to make it a huge surprise cliffanger she made George very scarce throughout the season, but this article clearly states that TR thought he was done for season and shaved his head - then shonda didn't know what to do, and that is when she decided to have him in the dress blues.

Yes, it is.
I love the closet scene. I think TR can express so much with his eyes and gestures without saying a word. He has those haunting expressive eyes.
I always loved his scenes with katie. They are so natural together.

It's also interesting to note that the expressions from KH as Izzie were for JDM as Denny; it really speaks of TR's talent how he was able to emote so much and didn't have KH's reactions to play-off of.
It's very reminiscient of season 3's closet-scene when Izzie and George said nothing to each other yet their actions and non-verbal communications somehow was able to resonate volumes.
The elevator shot, like the closet-scene, is hauntingly beautiful.

Hmm.. I wonder if the JDM scene with Izzie will be featured as a deleted scene on the Season 5 DVD since, according to the reporting, it had already been shot and adding in George O'Malley was a re-shoot of the original.
