Jason George Teases Ben Warren’s ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ Return Is “Very Much Mirroring” His Own Life After ‘Station 19’

Jason George is starting to see art imitate life as he transitions back to a recurring role on Grey’s Anatomy following the cancellation of Station 19.

Seven years ago, George’s character Ben Warren left Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital, where he’d been training as a fifth year surgical resident, to pursue his second dream of being a firefighter.

Now, Ben is back for Season 21, resuming his residency program at the hospital with a lot more experience and a bit of a different perspective on life — which is basically how George feels about returning to the ABC medical drama. “I’m loving being back,” he told Deadline in a recent interview, admitting that it does feel a little “weird.” “It’s like, there’s the house you grew up in, and there’s the house you made as an adult.

It’s not like my mom’s house is not mine. That’s my journey. That’s where I grew up. But this is the house that I made with my wife,” he explained. “So they’re very different, but I love them both dearly and for different reasons.” “Now that I’m back at Grey’s, it feels like being in your late 20s and coming back to live with your parents, but your parents are cool…you still come home when you want.
