‘How to Get Away With Murder’ Alum Rome Flynn to Recur on ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ (EXCLUSIVE)
Kate Aurthur editorRome Flynn — who played the role of Gabriel Maddox as a series regular on Seasons 5 and 6 of Shondaland’s “How to Get Away With Murder” — is joining “Grey’s Anatomy” in a recurring role. He will play Wendell Ndugu, the brother of Winston (Anthony Hill), and this Thursday’s episode will mark his first appearance on the show.According to ABC’s description of Wendell, the character is “a typical younger sibling with a mischievous sense of humor — he’s hoping to impress Winston with his new sales rep role at a medical technology company.” The logline of Thursday’s episode suggests that the physician shortage at Grey Sloan Memorial, prompted by the pandemic, is starting to become a true crisis — though it’s unclear whether “Grey’s Anatomy” viewers will learn more about Winston’s recently revealed expertise about snakes (or how Wendell might feel about snakes).
