‘Grey’s Anatomy’s Jake Borelli on Returning as Director, the Real Endgame of the Show & More

On Thursday, actor Borelli directed Feel It Still, a new Grey's Anatomy episode, transitioning behind the camera to helm the medical drama where he previously spent eight years.
Previously, Borelli portrayed Levi Schmitt at Grey Sloan for eight years before his character moved to Texas during Season 21, but he recently returned to the set as a guest director.
The episode balances four patient storylines with intimate character moments, including a Levi-coded Easter as Borelli filmed Jules and Winston in the same elevator where Levi and Nico shared their first kiss.
Directing provided Borelli a rare chance to work with the entire cast for two weeks straight, an experience he called a wonderful opportunity that leveraged his 20 years of show knowledge.
The long-running show, spanning 460 episodes, remains a stable medical drama centerpiece, with future seasons potentially continuing until characters like Zola become chief resident.
