Alex Karev
Played by: Justin ChambersBio
The arrogant, handsome intern who we first got to know as the man's man, both repulsive and irresistible to Izzie. The two had an on-again, off-again relationship that ended as Alex got caught sleeping with a nurse - in an attempt to regain confidence after "performance anxiety" problems with Izzie.
A former wrestler at the University of Iowa, he often tries to act more tough and aloof than he actually is. He and George O'Malley often clash due to their different personalities and also because Alex indirectly gave him syphilis (in Season One, George dated and slept with Olivia, the same nurse that Alex shagged).
After he and a visiting surgeon (Mark Sloan, the former best friend of Derek and lover of Addison) discussed his career prospects, Alex expressed interest in becoming a plastic surgeon. He gets that chance in Season Three, when Mark becomes a member of the staff - and makes Alex his personal lackey.
That means Alex Karev gets to know more about coffee than surgery. But he takes refuge on the "vagina squad" with Addison Montgomery, another attending who starts to fall for him before he turns her away. Later, he almost falls for a patient with a case of amnesia, but can't bring himself to commit to her either.
Will this patient - Rebecca Pope (also known as Ava, or Jane Doe) be the one to bring Alex Karev out of his shell at long last?

for me the lovely George O'Malley is alive. jonh that was not george. the calli recognized by george existe.porque not a sign that the scene where george burke is in the bathroom cutting hair appears both his arms in the mirror and would see that he does not have any signs. much less than an American state. There is much error in the death of george hestoria and only look. jonh me that is not the george. he was alive.

Alex has always been my favorite character on Grey's Anatomy, I wish he has more screen time since Izzie left. This bio should be updated though.
