An ABC News/Nightline segment timed to the 300th episode of "Grey's Anatomy" in 2017 took viewers on a tour of the medical drama's set. This included the prosthetics and effects department, which works on the show's surgery scenes. Cast member Kelly McCreary revealed that a lifelike version of Foley's face, created for Henry Burton's death scene, is still sometimes used during production.
"We have like a model, like a reproduction of Scott Foley's head because he played a character on the show many years ago, and his character, unfortunately, passed away, though we still occasionally use that from time to time," McCreary said. "So, sometimes we're operating, and we finally look down at Scott Foley's head while we're cutting open the middle, a little further down."
Luckily, Foley is aware of this. During an appearance on "The Late Late Show with James Corden," Foley revealed that when his wife, Marika Domińczyk, guest-starred on "Grey's Anatomy," she took a picture with the head. He even said, "They did a very good job" reconstructing his face. "Grey's Anatomy" features many upsetting deaths. It's a good thing Foley has a sense of humor about it all.
