A brand new surgical resident at Grey Sloan Memorial has Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) and Meredith Grey's (Ellen Pompeo) approval.

Grey’s Anatomy introduced fans to Dr. Jordan Wright sooner than its Season 18 winter finale. In his introductory episode, “Here Comes the Sun,” he meets Meredith all through her commute to the Grey Center for Medical Research in Minnesota. After listening to Jordan gush about Bailey whilst they labored together all day, Meredith recommended becoming a member of her at Grey Sloan. Once he arrived, his idol (and the chief of surgery) offered him a role.

More and extra, Grey’s fans will see Jordan's character increase. So, who is the actor playing him, and what may just spread between him and Bailey? Here’s the entirety we all know.

Jordan Wright on is an ‘’overachiever,” in line with the actor who plays him.

Jordan lately proved he’s no longer simply the new child at Grey Sloan. He inspired Levi Schmitt (Jake Borelli) to heal after losing a patient on the desk. Levi was once so distraught on the time, he scrubbed his hands till his hands bled.

Though the newcomer intends on fitting in together with his friends, his real center of attention is on Bailey. Greg Tarzan Davis, the actor who plays Jordan, says his persona is “starstruck” by way of the longtime doctor. However, given Grey’s Anatomy’s historical past of creating love triangles, may just Bailey have to choose from Jordan or her husband, Ben Warren (Jason George), down the road?

While we’d love to peer it, Greg hasn’t showed nor denied a love connection involving his character and Bailey. That said, the actor did describe his character as an “overachiever” striving for the executive’s approval. He also noted he wouldn’t “destroy the surprise” of telling lovers a couple of love interest in advance.

“He will do the rest and the entirety to check out and please her,” Greg emphasized to HollywoodLife. “I do know that for a fact. You don’t need to disappoint the person who you’ve seemed as much as. It’s virtually like a mother or father’s approval."

“Would it come off as kissing butt? I don’t know,” he continues. “Maybe to others, but I think, for the most part, it’s going to be just him pleasing her. He’s a great doctor, so there’s not much wrong that he could do.”

Who is Greg Tarzan Davis, the actor playing Jordan Wright?

Greg was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, on September 25, 1993. The 28-year-old creative began acting after leaving another career behind. When he graduated with a B.A. from Louisiana University, Greg decided to become a teacher.

“Throughout my short teaching career, I had the privilege of teaching first, second, and third graders, and had a great time,” Greg recalled in an interview with Pibe Magazine. “You never knew what the day would bring with those kids and their imagination.”

While teaching, he remained passionate about acting and theater, and eventually chose to move to LA to pursue his dreams.

“I realized it was time to change careers after preaching to my students that they should follow their dreams no matter what,” he explained. “That’s when it clicked that I was being a hypocrite. I’ve always wanted to be an actor, and yet, although I was doing something I was passionate about, it wasn’t my dream.”

Greg almost immediately began booking roles upon touching down in LA. He secured guest spots on shows like Chicago P.D., Grand Hotel, and All Rise. In 2020, Greg landed his first reoccurring role as Zion in Good Trouble. Now, it looks like he’ll be on Grey’s for the foreseeable future.

Catch all-new episodes of Grey's Anatomy once they air on Thursdays at 8 p.m. EST on ABC.
