Patrick Dempsey Won't Give Up a Racing Season Unless He Finds an Acting Role That's Worthwhile

Patrick Dempsey holds hands with his wife Jill as they tour the Infiniti Red Bull Racing garage before the 2014 German Grand Prix held at Hockenheimring on Sunday (July 20) in Hockenheim, Germany.

The 48-year-old actor recently opened up about feeling the need to keep racing and keep acting.

“I think it’s important for me to do both (acting and racing),” Patrick recently said. “I don’t dislike acting. There’s just certain challenges I’d like to have in my acting profession and I haven’t found those roles that have really made it worthwhile for me to give up a racing season to go do.”
