ISAIAH WASHINGTON FILES COMPLAINT OVER IMAGE: Actor runs to SAG over use of his image in "Grey's Anatomy."
*Isaiah Washington has filed a formal complaint with the Screen Actors Guild against his ex-employer ABC for allowing his image to be used in last week's episode of "Grey's Anatomy."
The actor, who was fired from the show in 2007 amid controversy that he used a homophobic slur, claims the producers never got proper consent to use his head shot, which was featured in a newspaper article about his character receiving a prestigious surgeon's award.
Washington's attorney, Peter Nelson, sent notices to ABC and SAG indicating the alleged inappropriate use of his image, his manager Howard Bragman told the Associated Press.
"They have the rights of the character to advance the story, but not the image," he said, adding that he expects this matter to be resolved via a "financial settlement."
