He races, etc.[edit]

According to IMDb, he is "Currently co-owner of Indycar Series team Vision Racing (February 2006)". I've seen tv stuff with him and his race car and stuff, so shouldn't that be included somewhere. Some of the other stuff here: [1] should be included as well, I think. Emily ^{(Funtrivia Freak)} 21:53, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

you are free to add it in your self, be bold when editing wikipedia.71.142.91.34 00:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

"McDreamy" source?[edit]

Why is this character called McDreamy? I don't watch the show, but I see him referred by it in magazines and newspapers. --24.249.108.133 18:37, 14 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

fans call him this because of his eyes, conversely another charicter is called McSteamy due to his "steamy" sex scenes.71.142.91.34 00:09, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

they nicknamed him that in the first season, most likely due to his looks, the prefix Mc- caught on to other characters as well = "McSteamy" and "McVet" -(because he's a veterinarian) it became just an inside joke between doctors on the show. —Preceding unsigned comment added by MeredithGrey24 (talk • contribs) 01:27, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Picture?[edit]

Is there no picture we could get copywrites to? I don't know those rules. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Eldonkeyo (talk • contribs) 04:51, 27 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

'Coupe de ville? movie?[edit]

The wiki-link to the Dempsey movie 'Coupe de ville' is incorrect. It's wiki-linked to the Autobobile page version. GoodDay 17:47, 29 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the wrong link

Sherrie Gayed[edit]

I couldn't find any other references to Dempsey's supposed love interest Sherrie Gayed, so I removed the paragraph talking about it Triptyque 23:07, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Find a reliable source and it can then be added to the article. But please, stop adding unsourced information about his religion, as it is considered speculative otherwise. -Ebyabe 16:15, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I want to know what the religion of patrick dempsey ?Is he christian? Jobas 18:09, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If you don't know, why do you keep changing the article to state that he is? That's very misleading. Dancter 00:28, 14 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Desire to quit acting and race full-time: how to cite?[edit]

Before the 2013 24 Hours of Le Mans, in an interview with Eurosport, Dempsey declared that he would like to quit acting and race full-time. I've added that information to the intro and the motorsports section, but am not sure how to cite the source, which I've listed as follows: <ref>Le Mans 24 Hours 2013 "24 Minutes" Episode 2, Eurosport HD, declared at approximately 16:30</ref> Can someone advise? Thanks. Az x2 02:41, 26 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

merging of sections[edit]

Many of the sections detailing his work outside racing + acting, such as Tully's Coffee, the cancer initiative, and promotional work, are only a few paragraphs at most. I think it would be best if it was merged into one section, "Other ventures", with proper subheadings. Does anyone have a different opinion on this?--Bettydaisies (talk) 18:58, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

School[edit]

Patrick Dempsey did not attend High School in Houston Texas. 2600:1000:B018:5C48:38E2:27AA:3972:D83D (talk) 11:54, 11 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
