Patrick Galen Dempsey entered the world in 1966 in the town of Lewiston, Maine. Born to parents William Allen Dempsey and M. Amanda Dempsey, this youngest of three siblings caught the acting bug early—it proved to be one “disease” he still has yet to cure.
From 2005 to 2015, Patrick got to play the lovable brain surgeon, which came with a chunky paycheck. For every single ‘McDreamy’-featuring episode of the show—all 244 of them—he apparently cashed in a cool $350,000.
