Well, you might be surprised to learn that he's not a relic from the past. In fact, he's been around for the better part of two decades now. He's got a bevy of adoring fans, both human and animal alike.
His bio says that he was born in Chicago, Illinois and raised in North Carolina before a stint in the Navy brought him home to sunny Los Angeles where he studied engineering at Cal Tech before earning his bachelor's degree in astronomy.
He subsequently honed his craft in the medical field at several major hospitals before deciding to strike out on his own. He's been lucky enough to live in a few of the most glamorous cities in the world, including Las Vegas and Hollywood.
The actor has a large fan base that appreciates his wry sense of humor, his sexy demeanor and most importantly his ability to make his presence known to everyone he meets. He has a long list of awards and accolades to his credit.
There's a reason this guy hasn't been replaced: he knows how to entertain his patients.
The best part? He's bringing his family with him!
The family is a big part of the Avery ethos, and he's already made an impression on his fellow surgical trainees.
