Actor Chris Carmack has struck gold multiple times in the highly competitive television landscape. His initial claim to fame came with his breakout portrayal of Luke Ward on the hit series The O.C., which subsequently paved the way for him to land another significant recurring role as Will Lexington on Nashville. Then, in 2018, this native of Washington, D.C., secured a part on what has become his current long-running gig, Grey’s Anatomy. For six seasons and counting, he has been captivating audiences as Dr. Atticus Lincoln, affectionately known as Link.
Link made his grand entrance at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital sporting long, flowing blonde locks and a smile that could melt hearts. It wasn’t long before he caught the attention of not only Dr. Meredith Grey (played by Ellen Pompeo) but also her sister-in-law, Dr. Amelia Shepard (Caterina Scorsone), who both found themselves falling for his charm. However, a rather memorable moment occurred in Season 15, Episode 6, when Link decided to reinvent himself by chopping off his hair.
In an exclusive conversation with Distractify, Chris divulged how his wife, Erin Slaver, with whom he has joined forces on various projects, including promoting AutoTrader’s Private Seller Exchange, played a crucial role in ensuring that his haircut didn’t veer into the realm of the overly extreme.
