Washington to play abused priest

Outspoken Grey's Anatomy star Isaiah Washington is set for more controversy when he plays a sexually abused Catholic priest in a new independent movie.

The actor, who hit the headlines when he 'outed' Grey's Anatomy co-star T.R. Knight last year by calling him a 'faggot' during an on-set row, is to take a leading role in new drama The Least Of These.
