Katherine Heigl Uncomfortable With Affair

I read an entertainment story today that impressed me. I cannot say that for most stories that come across the wire about celebrities, sadly. Katherine Heigl, who plays Dr. Izzie Stevens on Grey’s Anatomy, says she is having a hard time with the story line for her character of late. Izzie is having an affair with her married friend, Dr. George O’Malley.
She implies she has a hard time dealing with the idea that the new couple are hurting George’s wife in their somewhat open affair, without much seeming regret. I agree the characters seem to have a callous approach the situation. Heigl goes onto say that she is going through a period where she does not feel like she knows Izzie very well.
Speaking form the point of view of a woman who thinks adultery is deplorable, I’m impressed with the fact that she can admit that she struggles with the actions of her character. All too often, actors just say that they are playing a role and have no opinion of the character’s actions. Despite whether or not Heigl is simply playing a role, I admire that she can take a step back and determine that she does not agree with the actions of Izzie. An actor can do a fantastic job portraying someone and still not side with the character.
