Chris Carmack is one of the stars of the hit series Grey’s Anatomy, but when it comes to revealing major developments in season 21, he’s been careful not to give away any information that might dampen the excitement. In an exclusive interview with Life & Style ahead of the season 21 finale, the 44-year-old actor deftly dodged questions about the future of his character Link — whom he’s played for several seasons. However, he did say that, in the spirit of the long-running series, “happiness is short-lived, it doesn’t always last.”
Speaking about Link’s relationship with Jo, whom he recently married on the show, Carmack admitted that anything can happen in a moment. “I can’t say anything in advance, because things can change so quickly,” he shared. “I admit that I’m a bit nervous, like I’m waiting for an unexpected event to happen.” This is also the spirit of Grey’s Anatomy, where stories about love, loss and life’s surprises are always intertwined, making viewers unable to take their eyes off.
When asked about the last romantic thing he has for his wife — musician Erin Slaver — Carmack shared in a simple but sincere way: “The thing I always try to do the most is tell her I love her every time I think about it. That’s the most important thing to me.” Such a simple but profound love also partly reflects the emotions of the character Link in his emotional journey on screen.
Chris Carmack and his wife will soon celebrate their 7th wedding anniversary. When asked about the secret to maintaining a happy marriage for so long, he said: “I think sincerity and always cherishing every moment together is the most important thing. Both of us try to spend quality time together no matter how busy we are.” In addition, in their lives outside of the film, Chris and Erin are also actively participating in social activities. They recently collaborated with McAfee’s “Keep It Real” campaign, which aims to help eliminate the stigma and shame that many people face when they become victims of online scams. The campaign also raises awareness about using protection tools like McAfee Scam Detector to help people avoid falling into scams. Carmack excitedly shared: “This is a very meaningful campaign. I really hope that everyone will be aware of the dangers of scams and know how to protect themselves. Personally, I also plan to use this tool a lot to keep myself and my family safe.”
It can be seen that Chris Carmack is not only a talented actor with a beloved role on the small screen, but also a devoted husband, and a socially responsible citizen, always wanting to contribute to making a difference in the community. With his profound and sincere sharing, he makes fans love not only the character Link but also himself more.
