Kevin McKidd, who played the role of Dr. Owen Hunt, and Kim Raver, as Dr. Teddy Altman, have left the show after appearing in the 22nd season of Grey’s Anatomy. During an interview with Hollywood Times, Kevin replied, “I’ve been thinking about my character’s exit for quite a few years. I’d been feeling like it was time for me to leave over the last couple of years, and not quite knowing how to do that. I’ve been noodling it in my head and wondering how it should be. And my concept for Owen’s exit from the show was that I always imagined he would die in some heroic fashion. That he would save somebody or save a bunch of people and lose his life.”
