An Oscar-nominated actress has been cast in a recurring role in the medical drama 'Grey's Anatomy'.
The Hollywood Reporter says that Amy Madigan will appear in five episodes of the show.
Madigan, who was Oscar-nominated for her performance in the film 'Twice in a Lifetime', will play a psychiatrist at Seattle Grace Hospital.
Following the resolution of the Hollywood writers' strike, 'Grey's Anatomy' returns to US TV on 24 April, with Madigan making her debut in that night's episode.
Madigan's other credits include 'Gone Baby Gone', 'Field of Dreams', 'Uncle Buck' and the TV movie 'Roe vs Wade', for which she won a Golden Globe.
