Grey's Anatomy fans loved Dr Preston Burke on the hit show. Played by Isaiah Washington, the iconic role won the star two NAACP Image Awards and a Screen Actors Guild Award, but things ended on a bad note when the star was dropped from the show in 2007 around the show's third season. So what happened? Find out here…
The actor was reportedly embroiled in an argument with his co-star, Patrick Dempsey, when he insulted another co-star, T.R.
