Greys Anatomy adds guest star Geena Davis for season 11

With Greys Anatomy season 11 filming underway, Geena Davis has been cast as a new surgeon at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital.

Although Greys Anatomy has lost an amazing talent in Sandra Oh theyre gaining an Oscar Winner with Geena Davis. While The Hollywood Reporter broke the news that Davis would be playing a surgeon its not clear what department shell be joining. Her role is described as a major arc for season 11.

At the end of Greys Anatomy season 10 it was revealed that Merediths half sister (that she doesnt know about) Margaret Pierce was hired as head of Cardiothoracic Surgery. Its possible that Davis character could be taking the job left empty by Cristina.

Actress Kate Burton will also be returning this season to play the role of Ellis Grey in the form of flashbacks. Were guessing that the flashbacks will fill in the void of what happened with Margarets birth/adoption and how no one seemed to know about it.

You may recognize Davis from her roles in Commander in Chief, Stuart Little, A League of Their Own, and Thelma & Louise.

Davis won an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role in 1989 for The Accidental Tourist. She also won a Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actress In A Television Series in 2006 for Commander in Chief.
