Why Benedict Binswanger From Firefly Lane Looks So Familiar – Looper

“Grey’s Anatomy” fans probably remember seeing Greg Germann donning a white coat in the long-running medical drama. He portrays Dr. Tom Koracick, a neurosurgeon with a troubled past, never having completely moved on from the death of his son, David. He makes his first appearance in the Season 14 episode “Go Big or Go Home,” and becomes a recurring character until he is made a regular in Seasons 16 and 17. Germann returns as a guest star for the next two years, and officially leaves the show in the episode “When I Get to the Border” in Season 19. 

Tom is extremely skilled at his job and isn’t afraid to praise himself, even though others dislike him for it. Really, though, he’s often putting up a tough exterior, and he drops this facade to comfort those in need, including Miranda Bailey (Chandra Wilson) after she suffers a miscarriage, something that his ex-wife has experienced twice. Because of David’s death —-which occurred after getting hit in the head with a baseball bat — Tom has been known to have a soft spot for children. This is especially true when he treats Kimmie Park (Nayah Damasen, in a Season 14 recurring role). Despite her terminal illness, Tom goes to great lengths to extend her life so she can fulfill her dream of seeing as many Broadway shows as possible before she dies. 

Germann reprised his role in the spin-off, “Station 19,” where he treats Battalion Chief Robert Sullivan (Boris Kodjoe) in the Season 3 episode, “Eulogy.”
