He said, “They were all great. I mean, Sandra [Oh] … There’s so many talented actors. Patrick [Dempsey] used to live in my neighborhood. I haven’t seen him in forever. … Ellen [Pompeo].”

The Batman Forever star added, “Ellen’s still doing the show, I think, or at least part-time. It’s been, I think, what, 20, 25 years?”
