“Grey’s Anatomy” is a pioneering show that continues to push the boundaries in the television world, with Landi playing the first male surgeon of Asian descent as well as the show’s first openly gay male surgeon, as reported by Entertainment Weekly.

Even after landing a new ranking on television alongside co-stars Jesse Williams and Giacomo Gianniotti, the half-Korean half-Italian actor from New York is still relatively unknown in the entertainment industry. According to Bustle, Landi’s only credit was on an episode of CBS’ legal drama, “Bull” as “Juror #1.”

On IMDb, readers can get a closer look at what led Landi to pursue acting. As a child, his original goal was to become a professional tennis player. After seeing his first Broadway production, Landi became interested in acting and ultimately abandoned tennis to work on his acting career. He became so invested that he traveled to Asia to hone in his martial arts skills and “broaden his skills as an actor with a goal of redefining how the film industry views Asian actors as leading men,” as reported by Vogue Australia.

However, even though Landi has not seen a lot of screen time in the past, he could be scrubbing in for a possible full-time role on the main cast.

In many cases, actors such as Landi join the show on a recurring basis to establish a foundation and repertoire, before being promoted to a full-time role a few seasons in. Characters such as Callie, Arizona, and April can all attest to that.

One thing is for sure, viewers will be keeping their eye on him for the pioneering actor for seasons to come.

Watch Landi scrub in on the newest season of “Grey’s Anatomy” on Thursdays at 8 PM PST on ABC.
