Patrick’s career as an actor began with stage plays. Some of them include “Torch Song Trilogy”, “On Golden Pond”, “Brighton Beach Memoirs” and others. In 1987 he received his first film role in the movie called “In the Mood”. Two years later he became one of the leads in the movie entitled “Loverboy”. During the making of this movie Patrick met such actors as Kate Jackson, Carrie Fisher, Robert Ginty, Kirstie Alley, Barbara Carrera and others. This movie had a huge impact on the growth of Patrick Dempsey’s net worth. Another successful movie that Patrick appeared in, in 2002 was “Sweet Home Alabama”, directed by Andy Tennant. Soon Patrick started receiving more and more invitations to portray roles in various movies.
Some of his most recent movies include “Wonderful Tonight”, “Valentine’s Day” and “The Art of Racing in the Rain”. Despite all successful movies that Patrick acted in, his most famous role is of Dr. Derek Shepherd in the television show called “Grey’s Anatomy”. This show started airing in 2005 and it soon became one of the main sources of Patrick’s net worth. While filming this show he had an opportunity to work with such actors as Ellen Pompeo, Kate Walsh, Sandra Oh, Justin Chambers, Kim Raver, Chyler Leigh and others.
As mentioned, Patrick is also famous for being a race car driver. At first it began as a hobby but step by step it grew into something more, and soon it became a very big part of his life. He has participated in various competitions and achieved really great results. Patrick still continues racing and his current goal is to participate in the “FIA World Endurance Championship”. It is clear that Patrick has a lot of activities to take care of, and that he is a very talented personality.
If to talk about Patrick’s personal life, it can be said that in 1987 he married Rochelle Parker, but their marriage ended in divorce in 1994. In 1999 he married Jillian Fink and together they have three children. Unfortunately, Patrick and Jillian have also decided to end their marriage. All in all, Patrick Dempsey is a very successful and talented actor, who worked hard from the very young age and only in this way was able to achieve what he has now.

Sometimes your kids say something, and it's so amazing with insight. There's something so beautiful in that.

People sometimes mistake being serious with being taken seriously. And, sure, if you have a political point of view, you have every right to share it. But you have to be careful not to get too self-important. You have to find the balance between being entertaining and being preachy. And you're seeing that at the box office. People aren't buying it any more. There's a time and a place, and what we need right now is a little more positivity.
