When she is not running the hospital in front of the camera, Wilson often takes her place behind it — after all, few know the material of Grey's Anatomy as intricately as she does. "During season four, my producers thought I should consider directing. I had never thought about it, but I was open to the idea. I helmed my first episode in season six. It has been 10 years of directing."
Ask her if she enjoys running the show more than acting, and she cuts in, "I am always an actor first. I grew up knowing this is what I wanted to do. Directing is a different kind of experience. I am constantly learning, growing and trying new things."
