Justin Chambers Explodes With Rage in Accused Sneak Peek — Plus, His Latest Prognosis for a Grey’s Return

Justin Chambers’ Tyler would like to have a (pretty harsh!) word with Taylor Schilling’s April in TVLine’s exclusive sneak peek from this week’s episode of Fox’s Accused crime anthology.

In “Taylor’s Story” (airing Tuesday at 9/8c), former Orange Is the New Black inmate Schilling stars as the titular nurse, who is put on trial following an incident of intense road rage.

Chambers in turn co-stars as Tyler, “a regular at the same local coffee shop” that April frequents, the Grey’s Anatomy alum tells TVLine. “They’re not friends, just familiar faces who recognize each other from their daily coffee runs.”

As hinted by the sneak peek above, “April’s Story” aims to show “how a moment of road rage can escalate into something truly terrible, reminding us how easily anger can take control,” Chambers previews.

As with every Accused case, the episode should spark conversation among those who watch it — in this case, “Can people agree to disagree without resorting to violence or harsh words?” says Chambers. “Anger only ends up destroying itself, and sometimes that can escalate into situations like Tyler’s.”

An original Grey’s Anatomy cast member, Chambers wrapped his 16-season run more than four-and-a-half years ago, when his Dr. Alex Karev left Seattle to reunite with ex-wife Izzie and settle down with their two children, who he’d only recently learned existed.

Having played Marlon Brando (in The Offer , Paramount’s making-of- The Godfather miniseries) and other roles since putting Grey Sloane Memorial in his rear view mirror, Chambers’ prognosis for any imminent encore is pretty firm.

“That chapter is closed for now,” Chambers tells TVLine, while heralding his Grey’s Anatomy run as “one of the most incredible experiences of my life.”

“Thank you forever, Shonda Rhimes,” he added.

“But getting the opportunity to play characters like Marlon Brando in The Offer and Tyler in The Accused , both completely different from Alex, is why I’m excited to embrace new roles from talented writers and storytellers,” he explained.

So, in what specific ways is The Accused ‘s Tyler different from Grey’s doc Alex…? Other than that explosive, hair-trigger temper evidenced above.

“Tyler prefers briefs,” Chambers quips, “while Alex opts for boxers.”
