Dr Burke, "Grey's Anatomy" star let go

Isaiah Washington (Dr. Preston Burke), a star of TV hospital drama "Grey's Anatomy" who used an anti-gay slur against a fellow cast member, will not return for the show's fourth season, Entertainment Weekly magazine reported in its online edition on Friday. Reuters reports.

"ABC Studios has declined to renew the actor's option to play Dr. Preston Burke on the show, which won a Golden Globe this year for best television drama, according to the report.

Washington sparked controversy after a heated on-set argument last year in which he reportedly called actor T.R. Knight a "faggot."
