Levi Schmitt, M.D., is a fictional character from the medical drama television series Grey's Anatomy, which airs on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in the United States. The character is portrayed by Jake Borelli. Levi is introduced as a sub-intern at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital at the start of Season 14 and later becomes a resident in Season 16. Initially, Levi's character served as comic relief due to his clumsiness and lack of social skills. However, as the series progressed into the fifteenth season, Levi's storylines expanded, focusing on his questioning of his sexuality, his desire to gain confidence, and his complicated relationship with his overbearing mother. Borelli was promoted to the main cast in the sixteenth season, while also making occasional appearances on the companion show Station 19. Schmitt is notable for being Grey's Anatomy's first LGBTQ main character since the departures of Callie Torres (Sara Ramirez) and Arizona Robbins (Jessica Capshaw) in seasons 12 and 14, respectively. He is also the series' second Jewish main character after Dr. Cristina Yang (Sandra Oh). Schmitt's relationship with openly gay orthopedic surgeon Dr. Nico Kim (Alex Landi) has been praised by both critics and fans. On May 13, 2024, it was confirmed that Borelli would depart as a series regular due to budget cuts. Borelli’s character departed during the seventh episode of the twenty-first season, titled "If You Leave", that aired on November 14, 2024.
