Al Goes To Hollywood
Last night was supposed to be Al's big debut on Greys Anatomy. At least thats what the producer told us..... After a company wide email being sent to Als co-workers and telling everyone important we knew, we were ready to watch the long awaited liver tumor removal scene. Everyone kept texting us saying they didn't see him. We thought Al's chance at fame was shot and they cut his scene, but turns out the episode aired last week.
After all the hype and we missed it, our lives are over. Here are some shots of the airtime Al got. Al is on the left.
Bottom middle. Isn't the back of his head so hot
Once again on the left.
If you want to watch the episode go to Hulu.com and watch season 6 episode 17. The scene starts around 31 minutes. If you would like one of these pictures autographed I will see what I can do.

Greys Anatomy
Al got contacted by Grey's Anatomy a couple weeks ago to be on the show....the real reason we moved to L.A. Actually they needed a Cusa machine in one of their scenes and that is one of the machines Al sells. Since he brought the Cusa they let him be in the scene. He asked if I could tag along and the producer was nice enough to say yes!! I was soooo excited and had my fingers crossed that McDreamy would be there. The studio is in Hollywood right off of Sunset. General Hospital and Greys are the only shows they film there. Everything is filmed at the studio or the VA hospital in Hollywood which is hard to imagine when you see the show.
Here are some Seattle Ambulances
The Prop Manager gave us a tour of all the stages and sets. It is soooo crazy that everything is in 3 or 4 buildings......the hospital, emergency rooms, break rooms, Merediths house, the bar, and most importantly the bathtub Meredith and McDreamy took a bath in. I seriously have no idea how they fit in there....lol
Here is the foyer of the hospital. Upstairs is the observatory room they watch from and the greenish wall in the background moves up and that was the operating room they were filming in when we were there.
You have no idea how much work goes into TV production until you are there watching all the crap they have to do. Everyone wants to be an actor or actress, but I promise after this it's all over rated. They started filming this scene at 3pm and we weren't done until 8pm that night and the scene will only be about 5 minutes long. It takes 8 days to film one episode. They do the scene over and over and over....they do it from about 10 different angles and everytime they change the angle they have to change the lighting. While they are switching things around the actors go wander around and they have stand ins that look like the actors. For example they have an Asian girl stand in for Dr Yang. When everything is ready to go they go sit back down and the actors come back in. It's pretty amazing. In the picture below they are putting chunks of meat and fake blood all over the opening of the dummy to portray the surgery on the liver. Meredith is the one with the bun on top of her head. I LOVE YOU MEREDITH!!
Here is a picture of the dummy...hahah
Here is a picture of Dr Miranda Bailey (I think that's her name in Greys) . The guy in the red plaid shirt is the Executive Producer. I sat here and watched them film the tumor scene Al is in. I sat next to the medical writer. She goes through the script and writes all the medical lines. She was a ER Dr and quit to be a writer for Greys. It was really interesting to see all the different jobs people have.
This is Al's scene....he is closest to the left with his hand next to the Cusa machine. His cue line was "Bring in the Cusa" and he rolls it in.....hahah so awesome.
Here is picture of the waiting room
and what they are actually doing surgery on
Now I'm sure you all want to know who we got to meet and I will try to remember everyone. Meredith, Cristina, Miranda, Dr.Webber, Dr. Owen Hunt who has a really strong Scottish accent in real life. Unfortunately McDreamy, McSteamy, and Izzie weren't there. This is the best we could do with McDreamy.......

I'm so glad I got to go. Everyone that works there is so nice and they have the best food everywhere. It was pretty amazing and I'm so glad my husband is a star now. He is so much cooler and even better he is getting a check in the mail because he worked so hard!! Heres to Grey's Anatomy
