O'Neill says he's still asked about his role as the Grey's shooter in Season 6. "I had a producer ask me not long ago if I would do the same role now and I said, no," he tells EW. "I don't think I can do it now. I'm older. Life looks different to me now. My kids are pretty much grown. I'm trying to keep a roof over their heads. But it was compelling television and I'm so grateful Shonda (Rhimes) trusted me with it." O'Neill adds: “On the one hand, it’s gratifying to be a part of something that was so impactful.... (And) I’m awfully grateful that I’m getting to do what I’m doing now.”
