Patrick Dempsey has spent nearly 20 years helping cynical people believe in love again, no matter how dopey-eyed or melodramatic he has to be to get us there. What a grueling existence.īut that’s just what Patrick Dempsey does. Sometimes he doesn’t get the girl, but even then it’s because he makes too much sense for the girl. As a professional leading man he’s suffered a lifetime’s worth of romantic humiliations: He’s pratfalled, cheeseballed, made grand gestures and declarations of love in front of crowds. He’s gotten into some weird sexual situations with sisters he’s even been stabbed a few times. He’s died just as he’s gotten the dream (doctor wife, three kids, perfect house). He’s gone from nerd to stud to nerd again he’s fought a dragon. Patrick Dempsey works really hard for love.
