Happy birthday, Patrick Dempsey! Today the Grey’s Anatomy star turns 49.

Dempsey was born in Lewiston, Maine on January 13, 1966. An adept juggler, Dempsey once tied for second place in a national juggling competition. He discovered a love for acting at a young age and by the late 1980s, Dempsey was a star. With hits like the romantic comedies, Heaven Help Us and Loverboy, Dempsey became a teen heartthrob. He later transitioned to television, and found a resurgence of fame as Dr. Derek Shepherd on the hit drama Grey’s Anatomy.
