The problem is that the stuntman was not really well prepared to realize it and unfortunately injured her head during the first catch. So, Ellen Pompeo ended up having to make this famous waterfall . The actress was obviously not really happy when the director of the episode, Peter Horton, announced the news. “We had a real fight because he insisted that I do the waterfall, I said, ‘A professional stuntman had a concussion, I worked 18 hours, I can hardly see. Want me to do it? ‘” , She explained. ‘A professional stuntman had a concussion. I worked 18 hours. I can barely see. Now, do you want me to do it? ‘” , She explained . ‘A professional stuntman had a concussion. I worked 18 hours. I can barely see. Now, do you want me to do it? ‘” , She explained .
However, Ellen Pompeo ended up doing this stunt in Gray’s Anatomy . “He was categorical, I was inflexible, we were shouting at him, and I even said, ‘Why do you make me do this?’ ‘You will use this catch with his head bouncing off the ground, was unbelievable. It was like a slow movement. Anyway, I ended up doing it although I did not want it. And of course, they used the first shot , “she revealed. ” If you watch the episode, you’ll see that the stuntman hits her head. We left it. That was very effective. But we used part of Ellen’s hold, which is the part she never remembers. However, Would never have endangered. We pulled it much slower than its lining. ” Said Peter Horton. That’s a really tough episode for Ellen Pompeo! ” I always knew that the moment [the bomb] would involve Ellen. I do not know if anyone else was jealous. I do not think anyone has thought, ‘Oh, great, I want to have my hand thrust into a body cavity and stay there with all these horrors ,’ added Shonda Rhimes, the creator of the show.
