Scott Speedman [1] is reprising his role as Dr. Nick Marsh on Grey's Anatomy [2] this season. During the season 18 premiere, the actor made a surprise appearance as his character bumped into Meredith Grey in Minnesota. Speedman previously played the doctor in season 14, but his acting résumé goes far beyond Grey's Anatomy [3].

For many fans, Speedman will forever be known as Ben Covington, Keri Russell [4]'s love interest from Felicity. The drama was his big break, and he went on to star in films like Underworld, The Strangers, and The Vow. He also had a starring role on Animal Kingdom from 2016 to 2018. Additionally, he will also appear on the star-studded third season [5]of Netflix's hit series You, which premieres on Oct. 15. While there's no telling if he will be Joe Goldberg's latest victim, he will be on Grey's Anatomy for a while.

Following his dramatic appearance in the premiere, Deadline confirmed that Speedman would be a series regular this season [6]. "When this opportunity came around, I was trying to think of why not to do it, and I couldn't come up with any reasons," Speedman told the outlet. "It was a great show, really fun people, and it just felt the right timing for me. I wanted to jump in, and then, when I heard what the storyline could be, that was exciting to me." As for what that storyline will entail, Speedman stayed pretty coy. "I'll just say that I think the romantic comedy aspect of things was interesting to me. I knew Ellen could handle that, and I knew I could do that, and that was fun for me. I used to do a show, way back. It kind of reminded me of that, a little bit, and that's a really nice suit to put back on, in a way, you know? So, I was excited about that." Sounds like sparks might be flying between Nick and Meredith this season!
