“It’s not the kind of news anyone wants to hear, but to be honest, prostate cancer has run through my family,” Pickens said in an interview with Black Health Matters. “My father had it. He had a lot of brothers; several of them had it. I would have been surprised if I hadn’t gotten it.”
Luckily, Pickens has never known anyone who died from the disease.
“I’ve got a 90-year-old first cousin, who’s still alive, actually; he had it,” he explained. “His son has it. A couple of his brothers had it. No one, as far as I know, has succumbed to it.”
Pickens has starred as Dr. Richard Webber across all 22 seasons of “Grey’s Anatomy.” His other TV credits include “The Conners,” “Roseanne” and “The X-Files.”
