Grey’s Anatomy’s Justin Chambers To Play Marlon Brando In The Offer

Former Grey’s Anatomy star Justin Chambers joins the cast of Paramount+’s The Offer in the role of Marlon Brando. The Offer is an upcoming limited series about the making of Francis Ford Coppola’s 1972 classic The Godfather, which was adapted from the novel by Mario Puzo. Brando starred in The Godfather as Vito Corleone, aging mafia don and devoted family patriarch. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his sympathetic and multi-faceted portrayal.

Now, Deadline reports that Chambers will take on the role of Brando in The Offer. It will be Chambers’ first new acting gig since his popular character Dr. Alex Karev suddenly left Grey’s Anatomy in 2020, during the hit medical drama’s 16th season. Chambers, who had been a part of the cast of Grey’s Anatomy since it first premiered in 2005, was a fan favorite, and Dr. Karev’s surprise departure from the show was quite controversial.

Having shown throughout his time on Grey’s Anatomy that he is more than capable of playing a layered and complicated character with deep emotional range, Chambers is an excellent choice to play Brando, whose career was reignited after his turn as Vito Corleone. In choosing The Offer as his first post-Grey’s project, Chambers is putting himself in good company – he joins an impressive all-star cast including Miles Teller, Matthew Goode, Giovanni Ribisi, Juno Temple, and Dan Fogler as Coppola.

The Offer will focus on the behind-the-scenes experiences of The Godfather producer Al Ruddy (Teller, in a role he took over from Armie Hammer). It was created by Michael Tolkin (Escape at Dannemora), and will be written by Nikki Toscano (Bates Motel) and directed by Dex Fletcher (Rocketman). The Offer is scheduled to premiere on Paramount+ in 2022.
