We may be getting twice the Tom Hardy in Legend, as 
Although it always seemed that T.R. Knight left Grey’s Anatomy more due to behind-the-scenes personality differences than anything else, he must have hoped his career would have remained a little more high profile than it has. His only post-Grey’s on-screen credit is a single episode of Law &Order: SVU (although he has done a lot of work on stage).
On Friday we reported that Harrison Ford was being eyed to star as Baseball executive Branch Rickey in a biopic of the sport’s first African American Major League player, Jackie Robinson. Over the weekend it emerged who will play the main role, with
