Who is George O'Malley in Grey's Anatomy?
007 — the heart in the elevator · The Original Interns
George O'Malley (007 — the heart in the elevator) is a character in Grey's Anatomy, part of The Original Interns. George O'Malley earns the nickname 007 — licensed to kill — by botching his first appendectomy in front of the gallery, and spends his run outgrowing it: the sweet, fumbling intern who becomes the hospital's emotional first responder. He loves Meredith catastrophically, marries Callie prematurely, finds his calling in trauma — gifted with patients in a way the flashier surgeons aren't. George's final act, unrecognizable until a finger traces 007 into a palm, remains the series' most devastating door-slam of grief.
